[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] It was reported on the 27th that the former People Power Party (PPP) leader Lee Jun-seok's side is considering filing an additional injunction request for suspension of duties against all members of the Emergency Response Committee if the PPP's Emergency Response Committee system continues despite the court's decision to suspend the duties of the Emergency Response Committee chairman.

Lee's side argues that since the court effectively accepted Lee's injunction request against the transition to the Emergency Response Committee system and suspended the duties of Emergency Response Committee Chairman Joo Ho-young, the other committee members should also be regarded as effectively suspended from their duties.

Furthermore, since the court pointed out issues with the party's Standing National Committee's interpretation of the 'emergency situation' while issuing the suspension order against Chairman Joo, they believe there is sufficient grounds for the injunction request against the other committee members to be accepted.

However, the PPP leadership maintains that the court's suspension order is limited to Chairman Joo and has continued the Emergency Response Committee system. The leadership is considering a 'temporary chairman system' as one of the response measures.

The PPP will hold an emergency party members' meeting at the National Assembly at 4 p.m. today to discuss leadership issues following Chairman Joo's suspension. It is reported that the leadership is focusing internal discussions on a temporary chairman system led by floor leader Kwon Seong-dong.
