[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] On the 20th, Yoo Ui-dong, a member of the People Power Party, declared his candidacy for the floor leader. Yoo emphasized that the party should present a new figure to the public to demonstrate its will for change and reform.

At a press conference held at the National Assembly Communication Office on the same day, Yoo said, "We are commanded to align the party's direction with the demands of the era, transform the party into the form the people desire, and become the main force to revive the Republic of Korea," adding, "I have decided to run in this People Power Party floor leader election."

He stated, "The primary strategy of the floor leader ahead of the presidential election is to win the election," and argued, "To achieve victory, we must pursue generational expansion, regional expansion, and value expansion." Yoo cited his flexible thinking and communication skills with the 2030 generation as his strengths.

He also promised a change in the approach to opposition struggles. Yoo said, "Over the past year, I have used all my experience, political weight, and seniority, but I only have memories of being repeatedly defeated and helplessly pushed back," and added, "Opposition struggles should be friendly to the people and public sentiment, not based on seniority, weight, or experience." He explained that the way to achieve this is "to express a strong will for change and reform through new figures and symbolic replacements," emphasizing, "We must first show symbolic change and a strong will for reform."

Yoo stressed, "We must continue on the path of value expansion, regional expansion, and generational expansion," highlighting cooperation with the weak, solidarity with Honam, and communication with the 2030 generation for generational expansion.

Additionally, he promised, "I will also revive the policy function of the main opposition party." Yoo said, "We will open the party's doors and invite experts from major domestic fields to prepare a blueprint for revitalizing the Republic of Korea over the next year," promising, "We will definitely restore to normal the issues ruined by the ruling party, such as real estate, the economy for ordinary people, K-quarantine, security, education, and moral insensitivity."

Meanwhile, besides Yoo, members Kwon Seong-dong, Kim Ki-hyun, and Kim Tae-heum have also declared their candidacies for the People Power Party floor leader election.
