Why It Matters

The process of electing the Daegu City Party Chairman of the People Power Party was delayed for more than a month due to Rep. Kwon Young-jin's resignation from the candidacy due to the 'necklace controversy'. Afterwards, Daegu National Assembly members nominated Rep. Kim Seung-soo and ran as the sole candidate.

Rep. Kim Seung-soo (Daegu Buk-gu) was elected as the new Daegu City Party Chairman of the People Power Party on the 5th.

The People Power Party's Daegu City Party Steering Committee decided as follows at the meeting that day.

Previously, Daegu National Assembly members agreed to nominate Rep. Kim as the next Daegu City Party Chairman at the People Power Party conference held on the 27th of last month.

Afterwards, Rep. Kim ran as a sole candidate in the election for city party chairman.

After being elected as chairman of the Daegu City Party Committee, Rep. Kim met with reporters at the city party and said, "Daegu is in a very difficult time right now. I will do my best to overcome the crisis by gathering the wisdom of party members," and emphasized, "I will help Daegu stand up again and through this, lay the foundation for the re-creation of power."

Originally, re-elected Rep. Kwon Young-jin (Daegu Dalseobyeong) was scheduled to be elected as the next Daegu City Party Chairperson of the People Power Party, but as Rep. Kwon withdrew from the candidacy last month due to the 'necklace controversy', the election of the next City Party Chairperson was delayed for more than a month.

Rep. Kim, who was re-elected, is currently serving as the People Power Party's senior vice-president for in-house operations.

The U.S. Supreme Court also decides to allow political party committees to apply the lowest unit price for election advertisements.

Ahead of the election, the U.S. Supreme Court accepted the Republican Party's application to allow political party committees, like candidate campaign headquarters, to apply the 'lowest unit price', a special discount price for TV and radio broadcast advertising. This is a decision by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to suspend the effect, and is evaluated as a ruling favorable to the Republican Party two months before the midterm elections.
