Park Jie-won Warns Cho Kuk, Kim Kwan-young and Han Dong-hoon Wins Could Burden Democrats

Democratic Party lawmaker Park Jie-won said in connection with the June 3 local elections that the party could face difficulties if Cho Kuk, Jeonbuk Governor Kim Kwan-young, and Han Dong-hoon in Busan Buk-gap are elected. Park framed the possible victories of the three figures as a political burden that could weigh on the Democratic Party after the election. He also stressed that the candidate unification issue in Pyeongtaek-eul must be resolved. The remarks came as candidate lineups and discussions over opposition or Democratic Party coordination are drawing attention ahead of the local elections. Whether unification is achieved in the relevant district and how major candidates perform are expected to affect the party’s election strategy and political burden. Source: mk.co.kr
