[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] On the 9th, former Board of Audit and Inspection Chairman Choi Jae-hyung held an election camp strategy meeting at the election office set up in the Daehwa Building in Yeouido, Seoul, saying, "Recently, many people are worried as our party is showing signs of disunity," and added, "We must unite under the party leader and concentrate all the capabilities our party has to achieve the urgent goal of regime change."

Choi's remarks on the day are interpreted as being conscious of the discord between Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, and the presidential candidates. Choi emphasized, "The authority of the party leader must not be undermined," drawing a line against the 'leadership bypass' controversy. Both former Chairman Choi and former Prime Minister Yoon consecutively did not participate in volunteer activities and meetings prepared by the party leadership.

Meanwhile, Choi stressed, "I will also make every effort to unite all the capabilities of our party centered on the party leader," and added, "I will fully cooperate to ensure that the regime change expected by the people is definitely achieved."

On the same day, Choi announced that Woo Chang-rok, former representative lawyer of the law firm Yulchon, has been appointed as the general headquarters chief of the camp.
