Justice Party "Lee Jun-seok New Party Leader, Expecting Conservative Innovation and Dynamism"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 11th, the Justice Party congratulated Lee Jun-seok on his election as the new leader of the People Power Party, stating, "We expect innovation and dynamism in conservatism."

In a statement, the Justice Party said, "We extend our congratulations to Lee Jun-seok, who was elected as the new leader of the People Power Party," and added, "We look forward to innovation and dynamism toward a new conservatism, rather than the hostile symbiosis of the two-party camp politics." They also added, "We hope for a democratic party relationship that can create agreed-upon changes in the National Assembly and ensure pluralism."

They also mentioned Lee’s emphasis on 'meritocracy' as a condition for fair competition, stating, "'Meritocratic competition' should take place in the political arena, not in the living spaces of citizens. The tilted playing field of inequality and discrimination is a stark reality," and emphasized, "We expect fierce competition in the political arena on whether to move toward 'fairness based on meritocracy' or 'coexistence toward equality' living together."

On the same day, at the party convention held at the central party office in Yeouido, Seoul, Lee was elected as the new party leader with 43.82% of the vote. This result combined 70% party member votes and 30% public opinion polls. Lee, along with floor leader Kim Ki-hyun, will lead the party in the presidential election scheduled for March next year.
