[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] The Presidential Office stated on the 28th regarding the ruling party People Power Party's decision on the future leadership restructuring direction through a party caucus, "We hope the matter will be resolved well."

A senior official from the Presidential Office met with reporters at the Yongsan Presidential Office in the afternoon and, when asked about the Presidential Office's stance on the People Power Party's caucus, gave this general response.

The People Power Party held a caucus the previous day and decided on ▲ filing an objection to the court's injunction suspending the duties of the Emergency Committee Chair ▲ reorganizing the Emergency Committee after revising the party constitution and regulations ▲ urging the Ethics Committee to promptly handle additional disciplinary actions against former leader Lee Jun-seok ▲ and determining the position of floor leader Kwon Seong-dong after reconvening the caucus.

The official said, "Party members are individual independent entities. They are also constitutional institutions," adding, "Therefore, we hope the matter will be resolved well based on the conclusion reached after careful consideration and consensus. We do not have much more to say beyond this."

Regarding a report that President Yoon Seok-yeol demanded the People Power Party to hold a party convention within the year, the official strongly denied it, saying, "We have clearly stated regarding the party convention. President Yoon has never specifically mentioned holding it within the year or any particular timing."
