People Power Party Appoints 10 Organization Chairpersons Including Kim Seong-tae and Oh Shin-hwan

The remaining 26 locations will continue to be reviewed

The People Power Party announced the appointment results for 10 out of 36 newly recruited district organization chiefs ahead of next year's general election on the 31st.

On the same day, the People Power Party held an on-site Supreme Council meeting in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, and confirmed 10 new organization chiefs recommended by the Party Organization Strengthening Special Committee. The 10 appointed organization chiefs will be officially appointed as district chiefs through party member councils. Becoming a district chief can provide an advantage in the nomination competition for next year's general election.
