"Will Not Run in Next Year's General Election for Both District and Proportional Representation"
"Must Waive Immunity from Arrest to Receive Nomination in General Election"

Han Dong-hoon, the Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, announced on the 26th that he is preparing for a showdown with the Democratic Party of Korea. Chairman Han stated, "The Democratic Party led by Lee Jae-myung, in collusion with the privileged activist faction and the Gaeddal totalitarianism, must be stopped from destroying the country to save themselves." Regarding next year's general election, Han promised to ‘dedicate himself’ without running for either a constituency seat or proportional representation.

In his acceptance speech at the People Power Party headquarters on the same day, Chairman Han said, "The ruling party, whose primary goal is to prevent serious crimes from being punished according to the law, is recklessly running amok and ruining the present and future of this country. We must stop this." He added, "We must eliminate the privileged activist politics that have used this party as a host for decades, with the 386 generation becoming 486, 586, and 686, showing receipts and trying to dominate and teach the people for generations."

He expressed his determination, saying, "If things continue as they are, the difficult reality that reasonable people face?that we may not be able to stop the reckless and authoritarian behavior of the current Lee Jae-myung-led Democratic Party?is frightening for all of us. Therefore, we must decide to be courageous. I have decided to be courageous."

He also declared his intention not to become a member of the National Assembly in next year’s general election. Chairman Han said, "I will not run in a constituency nor in proportional representation. I will do everything for victory, but I will not take the fruits of that victory for myself."

Chairman Han called for a sober reflection within the People Power Party. He said, "Even though the Democratic Party is surreal, with its party leader facing criminal trials for serious crimes three or four times a week, why can’t the People Power Party overwhelmingly defeat them? Let us reflect soberly together." He urged, "When the people offer reasonable criticism, let us respond immediately and make changes without delay."

Regarding the nomination for next year’s general election, he said, "We will present only those who do not see public office as a shield and who have no sense of privilege to the people." He added, "Our party will only nominate those who promise to give up parliamentary immunity from arrest, and although it should not happen, if anyone breaks this promise later, we will take strong measures such as immediate expulsion."

Meanwhile, Chairman Han declared a policy direction in a declarative form, saying, "Stopping the reckless behavior of Representative Lee and the Gaeddal totalitarianism and the privileged activist faction is an urgent reason why we must win, but it cannot be the only goal of our politics and leadership."

He stated, "We must show the people sophisticated policies to prepare for the predetermined future of a population disaster; policies that firmly protect citizens from crime and disasters; policies that help the common people and the vulnerable regardless of political camp; policies that accelerate scientific and industrial innovation in an era where security, economy, and technology converge; policies that allow capital markets to lead private autonomy, creativity, and economic development while leaving no gaps in investor protection; policies that protect national interests within the global order through broad and deep Korea-US cooperation; principled North Korea policies that have both justification and practicality; balanced responses to climate change; policies that improve the lives of youth from the youth’s perspective; policies that respect the elderly; policies that revitalize local economies; and policies that improve the convenience of life for all citizens."
