The amendment includes expanding the party leader election method from the existing '70% party member voting and 30% general public opinion poll' to '100% party member voting.' If the top vote-getter does not exceed half of the votes, a runoff election will be held between the first and second place candidates. Additionally, a reverse selection prevention clause was newly established to exclude supporters of other parties when conducting opinion polls during various intra-party primaries.

The People Power Party plans to refer the approved amendment back to the Standing National Committee for finalization.

Meanwhile, at the National Committee meeting on the same day, Representative Lee Heon-seung was elected as the chairperson of the National Committee.
