Political Reform 2050 stated that, according to a public deliberation survey directly participated in by citizens, 84% responded that "there is a need to change the electoral system," and 70% said that the number of proportional representation seats should be increased. They demanded that the National Assembly conduct a vote based on these results. They also requested that the redistricting be finalized by next month.

"Satellite parties are nothing but a trick considering only the party interests of the two major parties," they urged, calling for the abandonment of the 'illegal satellite parties' that were problematic in the last general election.

Political Reform 2050 raised their voices, saying, "Politics that rely solely on windfall benefits have no future. We must move toward an era of diversity and coalition politics."
