[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Kwon Young-se, head of the People Power Party's election countermeasures headquarters, has been appointed as the secretary general of the election committee. Won Hee-ryong, head of the policy headquarters of the election committee, will take charge as the policy director.

A source from the election committee stated in a phone call with Asia Economy on the 5th, "Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol proposed that Director Kwon concurrently serve as secretary general, and Director Kwon accepted the proposal."

Director Kwon is expected to succeed former Secretary General Kwon Seong-dong and oversee all practical affairs of the election committee. The new election committee will adopt a "practical-centered system" under the sole leadership of Director Kwon, with only core teams directly under the candidate. The organizational headquarters, which operates alongside the election headquarters, functional headquarters, and policy headquarters, will also be managed by Secretary General Kwon.

Director Won will continue the existing policy planning work as the policy director. Lee Yang-su, senior spokesperson for the election committee, stated, "The policy general headquarters will be streamlined and made more efficient as the policy headquarters, and Director Won will take charge as the policy director."

Im Tae-hee, who previously served as the head of the general situation headquarters of the election committee, is reported to take on the role of senior advisor for the election committee.
