[Asia Economy Reporter Junyi Park] Jo Su-jin, a member of the People Power Party, declared her candidacy for the party's Supreme Council member and emphasized, "I will become a warrior for regime change."

On the morning of the 23rd, Jo held a press conference at the National Assembly and said, "The Moon Jae-in administration destroyed common sense, fairness, and the rule of law," adding, "The people gave us the supreme command in the April 7 by-election to restore the common sense, fairness, and rule of law that the Moon administration destroyed."

She continued, "The April 7 by-election showed the path toward regime change. It means no longer relying on the extremes," and stressed, "I, Jo Su-jin, will stand at the forefront with practice and passion to clearly show the people that we are a centrist and pragmatic party."

As a first-term lawmaker, she pledged to invigorate the party. She said, "It has been less than a year since I entered the 21st National Assembly," and added, "With the vigor and passion of a first-term member, I will breathe new life into our party while listening to the experience and wisdom of senior politicians to create a synergy effect."

After the press conference, she emphasized her Honam origin during a meeting with reporters. She said, "A Supreme Council member from Honam like me must enter the People Power Party and the leadership to practice politics based on centrism and pragmatism," and added, "I believe I can fill the parts where our party is lacking." She also stated, "I will raise the voting rate in the Honam region by about 25%," explaining, "Since candidates from Honam, such as Representative Lee Yong from Jeonju, have run, residents of Jeonnam and Jeonbuk will reconsider us."

Meanwhile, according to the Central Election Commission of the People Power Party for the election of the party leader and Supreme Council members held the previous day, candidate registration closed at 5 p.m. today. Ten candidates have registered for the Supreme Council election, which will select four members, including Representatives Cho Hae-jin, Bae Hyun-jin, Lee Young, and Jo Su-jin (first-term), as well as former Representatives Kim Jae-won and Jung Mi-kyung.
