[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 26th, Lee Cheol-gyu, a member of the People Power Party who raised suspicions of illegal real estate transactions to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, rebutted by saying he could not accept the party leadership's demand to leave the party, stating, "It is self-contradictory for the Supreme Council, which criticizes the Commission's decision as unfair, to tell the member to accept the 'demand to leave the party' according to the Supreme Council's decision."

In a statement released that day, Rep. Lee said, "My political wings have been clipped by the Supreme Council's wrong decision, which accepted the Commission's political decision," adding, "I have lost the momentum to fight against the arrogant ruling party."

He pointed out, "The Supreme Council announced that there are no plans to reconsider without even discussing it," and "The party leader's response that he would review the matter if the previous day's materials were summarized and provided was all false."

He then said, "Starting today, I will step down from party positions and key posts," adding, "I will resign as the secretary of the Industry, Trade, Energy, Small and Medium Venture Business Committee, a member of the Special Budget and Accounts Committee, and a member of the Intelligence Committee, and I will not take the position of chairman of the People's Trust Cyber Terrorism Task Force (TF)." He also said he would step down from the position of head of the organization bureau at the Yoon Seok-yeol National Campaign.

Rep. Lee expressed, "I will return as a rank-and-file member of the People Power Party and correct the Supreme Council's unfair and wrong decision," emphasizing, "I have not violated the law in relation to this (real estate) matter."
