[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Kwon Hyun-ji] Jeong Jin-seok, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, dismissed media reports claiming that the Emergency Response Committee plans to change the party convention rules to increase the party member vote ratio to 90% or exclude proportional representation members from serving as district party chiefs, calling them "things I've never even heard of."

After the Emergency Response Committee meeting at the National Assembly on the 21st, Chairman Jeong told reporters, "If the media freely reports things that are not in my mind, it causes confusion in party affairs," emphasizing this point.

He stated, "I served as the nomination committee chairman for the April 7 Seoul mayoral election and the June 1 local elections, completing the nominations fairly and without collusion," adding, "I am proud to have successfully managed difficult nominations without any issues, leading to victories in the two major elections," stressing fairness.

Chairman Jeong said, "This time as well, I said I would not run for party president to ensure fairness in district party organization and party affairs audits. At that level, you should trust me," raising his voice, "Kim Byung-joon and Kim Jong-in (former Emergency Response Committee chairs) have completed party affairs audits, so why can't I?"
