Ruling party lawmaker on hunger strike

Song Eon-seog (R), floor leader of the main opposition People Power Party, talks with Ahn Ho-young, a lawmaker of the ruling Democratic Party, inside a tent in front of the National Assembly in Seoul on April 22, 2026, as Ahn stages the 12th day of his hunger strike to demand the party leadership reinvestigate allegations that Lee Won-taek, a lawmaker of the ruling party and the elected candidate for North Jeolla governor, had his meal expenses paid by a third party. The strike came after Ahn lost to Lee in its primary for the gubernatorial election in the June 3 local elections. (Pool photo) (Yonhap)
