[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 11th, Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, stated regarding the results of the Democratic Party's presidential primary held the day before, "I believe the general public has delivered a significant judgment."

On the same day, Lee held an on-site Supreme Council meeting at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center in Gwangju and said, "Regarding the Daejang-dong scandal, (Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung) has consistently engaged in a nonsensical rant like Nobel, dynamite, and KEPCO employees, and as if a pig only sees pigs in its eyes, he only looks at himself in the mirror and talks, which I believe caused public sentiment to turn cold."

Lee added, "Unlike before, the voter turnout was significantly lower, and the combined result was a narrow victory," and urged, "Candidate Lee should promptly accept a special prosecutor investigation and cooperate in clarifying the allegations against him."

He also appealed for support for the People Power Party. As of the 8th, the number of People Power Party members in the Honam region reached 15,335, more than seven times the 2,144 members recorded in February. Lee said, "If the Democratic Party has failed to meet the expectations of Honam residents so far, instead of choosing another Democratic Party, please join the light of a new political culture that is beginning to shine faintly with the younger generation," and emphasized, "You don't have to look at the entire staircase to climb it. Just take the first step. The People Power Party preparing for tomorrow will not overlook the voices of citizens in Honam who truly desire democracy."

Four People Power Party presidential candidates who passed the second cut-off also attended the Supreme Council meeting that day.
