[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] President Yoon Seok-yeol stated on the 29th regarding the confusion caused by the leadership vacuum in the ruling People Power Party, "I believe it is right to respect the conclusion reached by our party's lawmakers and members when they come to a consensus."

President Yoon made this remark when a reporter met him on his way to the Yongsan Presidential Office in the morning and said, "There are talks that the president should take a role."

He added, "I believe they can reach a sufficiently reasonable and appropriate conclusion for the future of the party and the country through intense discussions."

This is interpreted as a reiteration of the principle of non-interference in party affairs, stating that he will not directly intervene in party matters.

Earlier, the People Power Party decided at a lawmakers' meeting on the 27th to dissolve the 'Joo Ho-young Emergency Committee system,' revise the party constitution and regulations, and then form a new emergency committee.

Meanwhile, Kwon Seong-dong, the floor leader, was unanimously appointed as the acting chairman of the emergency committee at the emergency committee meeting held at the National Assembly that morning. Kwon stated that he will decide on his position after the new emergency committee is launched.
