[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party, which recently changed its party name, announced on the 100th day of Kim Jong-in's inauguration as Emergency Committee Chairman that it will begin laying the foundation for winning the by-elections in April next year and the 2022 presidential election victory.

On the 3rd, the People Power Party stated, "The past 100 days have been a period in which our party overcame the pain of the general election defeat and reborn as a 'people's livelihood party, policy party, and ruling party' through thorough reflection and innovation."

The People Power Party mentioned efforts for reflection and innovation, including Chairman Kim's kneeling apology for the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement, the publication of the general election white paper, and the activities of the National Integration Committee.

They also announced that they have revised the party name and prepared progressive party platform policies for the party's change and innovation. Chairman Kim ordered, "We need to create a party platform policy that properly reflects the will of the people so that the public perceives, 'Let's trust that party and give it a try,' and the party platform must change to that extent."

Under the Emergency Committee, they launched the Economic Innovation Committee, Special Committee on Low Birthrate Measures, Special Committee on Future Industry Jobs, and Special Committee on Foreign Affairs and Security, highlighting their role as an alternative party.

The People Power Party stated, "We will restore the economic system damaged by the Moon administration's flawed income-led growth policy and lead the divided and despairing people toward social grand integration," and added, "We will establish a new North Korea and foreign policy to overcome the total failure of the Moon administration's foreign and security policies."

They expressed their ambition to lay the groundwork for next year's elections and the 2022 presidential election. The People Power Party said, "Following the past 100 days, we will continue to change and innovate more broadly and deeply to secure victory in the April 7 by-elections next year and the 2022 ruling foundation," and stated, "As a responsible main opposition party, we will present policies and visions on six core agendas: youth, women, low birthrate, jobs, basic income, and real estate, demonstrating the role of an alternative party."

They will also begin party organization innovation work by conducting a party audit and forming a special committee for organizational strengthening within this month. The planning team for the by-elections in April next year will also be launched early. The People Power Party said, "Regarding the selection of candidates for Seoul Mayor and Busan Mayor, we will make it easier and more convenient for more citizens to participate."
