[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The People Power Party will hold its party convention to elect the party leader and supreme council members on the 11th of next month.

The Central Election Commission of the People Power Party held its first meeting at the National Assembly on the 11th and finalized the schedule for electing the leadership.

Candidate registration will close on the 22nd of this month. Once candidates are confirmed, joint speeches will be held starting from the 30th. A total of five speech sessions will take place nationwide until the 6th of next month.

Voting by the electorate will be conducted via mobile on the 7th and 8th, and through ARS on the 9th and 10th. Simultaneously, a public opinion poll will also be conducted.

After candidate registration is completed, the Election Commission will decide on specific details related to the cut-off (preliminary election).

Hwang Woo-yeo, Chairperson of the Election Commission, said to reporters after the meeting, "We are thinking of inviting as many people as possible who wish to run, but since supreme council members are also important, we want to avoid electing only based on the party leader," adding, "(Reducing the proportion of party member votes) is quite difficult because amending the party constitution and regulations takes time."

Meanwhile, the People Power Party has decided to reduce the deposit fee for candidates under the age of 45 to lower the barrier for entering the leadership.
