[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 5th, Ahn Cheol-soo, a member of the People Power Party who was elected in the by-election for the National Assembly seat in Bundang-gap, Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, said in response to a question about whether he would challenge the party leadership, "I will organize my thoughts quickly and let you know."

After the election camp disbandment ceremony in the afternoon, Ahn told reporters, "I still feel dazed. Nothing has been arranged yet, from the local office and the assembly hall room to the composition of the aides."

Regarding his role within the party, he said, "I do not have any specific position in mind yet," but added, "I think our party needs to become a party truly loved by more people and broaden its support base."

He continued, "Rather than representing a specific group, I believe the core is a party that warmly embraces socioeconomically vulnerable people and takes a pragmatic approach to objectively view and find the best solutions to real-world problems."

Regarding the formation of the party innovation committee promoted by Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, Ahn emphasized, "It is very desirable to take the lead in innovation first," adding, "Only parties that show political development alongside the progress of all sectors of society can survive."
