Chapter 004: Party Primary

Most of the 49 electoral districts in Seoul will not change candidates in the last general election, and it is generally not easy to change candidates to secure seats in the National Assembly unless his performance in office is particularly poor or other scandals have been exposed.

The leader of the Moon Party first announced the list of candidates from Jongno-gu, which was elected by the 5-election councillor Chung Se-kyun, the candidate of Gwangjin District A was the two-election councillor Chun Hye-sook, and the candidate of Gwangjin District B was the 4-election councillor Cho Mi-ae.

"The candidate for Geumcheon-gu is Councilor Lee Mo-hee......"

When the leader of the Wen party read out Li Muxi's name, he secretly shook his fists in celebration, but the words behind the party leader Wen made him unhappy.

"There are three candidates, Lee Hoon, a member of the National Assembly's Steering Committee, and Kwak Dae, the first chief secretary of the Seoul Mayor's Office."

After reading the list of candidates for the seven electoral districts, this is the first time that there have been three candidates, and everyone is talking about it below.

"Party leader, what should I do, is it a show of hands or a vote from within the party?"

Li Luoyuan asked with a smile.

If it is a show of hands, Li Xun will definitely win, because he is Li Luoyuan's person and an old man in the party, and he has never run for the National Assembly once.

Not only Guo Dahai, but also Lee Muxi, who is also one of the candidates, also knew that the form at the moment was very unfavorable to him, and he looked at Lee Jae-myung.

"It seems that there was nothing wrong with Congressman Li during his tenure, and in order to secure his seat, I think it is best to let Councilor Li run for election."

For the presidential election later, Lee Jae-myung is helping Lee Muxi while helping himself.

"That's right, it's best to let Congressman Lee Mu-hee run for election."

Lee Jong-kit, a four-election lawmaker of the Lee Jae-myung faction, echoed.

"Didn't Congressman Lee Mu-hee just be exposed to the problem of violating the "Political Fund Law", and his own stains have not been clearly explained, how can he run for election?"

Xue Xun, who is also a member of the 4th election council, argues as a member of the Dongqiao Cave faction.

Immediately, the people who supported Li Xun quarreled with the people who supported Li Muxi.

Intra-party quarrels are no more normal, and there are occasional cases of lawmakers from two parties beating each other up because of political disagreements in the National Assembly Hall.

The head of the Moon party slapped the table, and everyone stopped arguing, and at this moment, Park Won-soon said with a smile: "You seem to have forgotten that there is another candidate, right?" ”

Lee Jong-jie said nonchalantly: "Eh, Mayor Park, I know you value Guo Dahai very much, but he is too young after all, let him train under you for a few more years before running for office." ”

In terms of seniority, where can Guo Dahai, who was born in 1985, be compared with this group of people born in the sixties and seventies.

"Councilor Li, you have to give young people a chance, don't you?"

Park Won-soon is still smiling.

Unexpectedly, Li Muxi said casually: "Mayor Park, if Guo Dahai loses the election, can you afford this responsibility?" ”

The other party's attitude aroused the dissatisfaction of other people around Park Won-soon, and Qi Dongmin, who is the deputy mayor of Seoul, replied: "Councillor Li, don't forget your own stain, it's not unreasonable that you haven't been re-elected." ”

Li Muxi was dumbfounded, the electoral system is like this, if the achievements made during the term of office are not satisfactory to the people, then it will be difficult to win the support of the people in the next term.

Xue Xun of the Dongqiao Cave Sect took the opportunity to say: "So, Member Li Xun is the most suitable candidate. ”

Qi Dongmin knew that Guo Dahai had accumulated a high level of popularity in Jinchuan District in the past year or so, so he said: "If you want me to say, it is better to hold a poll in Jinchuan District, whoever has the highest poll will run for election." ”

"What? Polls? Vice Mayor Qi, what nonsense are you talking about? ”

Li Muxi scoffed at Qi Dongmin's words, and he sneered.

Li Luoyuan and Party Leader Wen glanced at each other and said: "That's right, why should the party's primary election be decided by polls, I think it's better to think of other methods." ”

"Next, Aora Ward ......"

The head of the party, who no longer dwelled on the question of the candidate in Geumcheon District, went on to speak.

After finishing talking about the remaining Seoul constituency, the head of the Moon Party looked at the other three and said, "Representative Lee, Mayor Park, Mayor Lee, please stay, and the others will go out first." ”

"Yes."

Walking out of room 1 of the conference, Guo Dahai, Qi Dongmin and others waited in the public rest area opposite for about half an hour, Park Yuanchun took the lead in coming out of it, and he said to the people waiting for him expressionlessly: "Let's go." ”

"Yes."

Guo Dahai and seven or eight other people followed behind Park Wonchun and took the elevator to leave the new Donghai Building.

Park Wonchun didn't speak in the elevator, and everyone didn't dare to ask, until he entered the car, he said to Guo Dahai, who was sitting next to him: "Dahai, it seems that you have to give up in Jinchuan District." ”

"Did the party leader choose Member Li Xun?"

In this regard, Guo Dahai has been mentally prepared.

"That's right, both the leader of the Moon Party and Representative Lee strongly recommend Lee Xun, and Mayor Lee recommends Congressman Lee Mo-hee, two-on-one, I can't tear my face with them," Park Won-soon patted him on the shoulder regretfully and said, "But they promised that they would definitely give you a seat in the next general election or by-election, and you can make a request, as long as it is reasonable, they will agree." ”

The leader of the Moon party can not care about Lee Jae-myung's opinion, but he cannot offend Park Won-soon, so in order to appease the other party, they promise to exchange Lee Hoon's seat in the election.

What's next? It's four years later.

Disappointed, Guo Dahai smiled and said, "Lord Mayor, I understand what you said. ”

"Think about what you need their help with."

He smiled and asked, "Is it okay to ask for anything?" ”

"As long as it's reasonable, anything goes."

Guo Dahai took out his mobile phone, he looked at the contact on his mobile phone and said: "Lord Mayor, I have a clan relative named Guo Guize, he is now the chief prosecutor of the Criminal Division 1 of the Jeonju District Prosecutor's Office, and it would be a pity if he ended his procuratorial career as a minister prosecutor at his age, so ......"

"Is Guo Kuize and you on good terms?"

"I have more dealings with him than other clansmen, and we have a good relationship privately."

Park Won-soon looked out the window of the car and thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with them, we have to have a knife in our hands." ”

"Thank you, Mayor."

"It's nothing, it's true that I've kept you busy for more than a year, so let's focus on the work of the town hall for the rest of the time."

It was Park Won-soon's idea to let Guo Dae go to Geumcheon District for activities, and there was some apology in his words.

"Your Excellency, Mayor, you are serious."

"Do you want to cheapen Li Xun for nothing about the child welfare center, I heard from Section Chief Kim that the support budget they applied to the Ministry of Health and Welfare has been approved."
