[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Geum Bo-ryeong] Seo Byeong-su, chairman of the People Power Party's National Committee, who had expressed his intention not to respond to the convening of the Standing National Committee to establish a new emergency countermeasure committee, announced on the 31st that he would resign from his chairmanship.


Seo held a press conference at the National Assembly on the same day and stated, "As of this moment, I am stepping down from the position of chairman of the National Committee."


He added, "Resigning from the chairmanship of the National Committee means stepping down from the chairmanship of the Standing National Committee as well as the party convention chairmanship."



Seo said, "In fact, I was waiting for contact from our leadership and was expecting to receive a request to convene the National Committee, but I have not received any contact so far. I have consistently expressed my position that the leadership should not move toward a new emergency countermeasure committee, but rather that it is right to proceed with an acting leadership."
