Han Dong-hoon, former representative of the People Power Party, noted on the 9th, "Candidates Kim Moon-soo, Han Duck-soo, and the pro-Yoon faction are collaborating like 'one team' to successfully block me and are fighting over the candidate position," adding, "They are making the party a laughingstock."
On this night, as it was revealed that the unification negotiations between Kim Moon-soo, the party's presidential candidate, and Han Duck-soo, an independent candidate, had ultimately failed, and that the emergency committee was discussing the 'replacement of candidates' agenda, he made these decisive remarks.
He pointed out, "The behavior of candidate Han Duck-soo, who intentionally did not participate in the primary and then attempted to 'ride on the coattails' is extremely wrong, and the mistake made by candidate Kim Moon-soo, who intentionally used that situation to block me while talking about 'Kim Duck-soo' is also quite significant."
He further criticized, "However, the pro-Yoon leadership invalidating a primary that 770,000 responsible party members who pay party fees participated in, and unreasonably replacing candidate Kim Moon-soo with Han Duck-soo, who is not even a party member, is abandoning the principles of party democracy and common sense," stating, "They are making our party a laughingstock. Who gave such authority to an unelected emergency committee?"
