The Democratic Party Holds 4th Term Meeting Followed by President-Elect Assembly to Discuss Party Recovery Plans

Yoon Jae-ok to Hold General Assembly on the 16th
Differences in Opinions Over Leadership Election Method and Timing

The People Power Party will hold a general meeting of the 22nd National Assembly members-elect at the National Assembly on the 16th to discuss measures to manage the party crisis following the defeat in the April 10 general election.

Yoon Jae-ok, the floor leader and acting party leader, conveyed this schedule through a text message sent on the 14th to the People Power Party and the proportional representation satellite party, People’s Future, members-elect, urging their attendance.

The members-elect will collectively pay respects at the National Seoul Memorial Cemetery in Dongjak-gu at 8:30 a.m. and then proceed directly to the National Assembly to hold the general meeting starting at 10 a.m.

At the meeting, discussions are expected regarding the formation of the next leadership to stabilize the party. Since the resignation of former emergency committee chairman Han Dong-hoon, various opinions have emerged within the party concerning the method and timing of electing the leadership system. Public opinion is divided between operating the party under a 'caretaker emergency committee' system and maintaining the current acting leadership system until the 22nd National Assembly convenes, after which a party convention should be held to elect a formal party leader for a two-year term.

Prior to this, on the 15th, a meeting is scheduled between members-elect with four or more terms and Acting Leader Yoon. Attendees include members-elect Cho Kyung-tae, Joo Ho-young, Kwon Young-se, Kwon Seong-dong, Kim Ki-hyun, Na Kyung-won, Yoon Sang-hyun, Kim Sang-hoon, Kim Do-eup, Kim Tae-ho, Lee Jong-bae, Park Dae-chul, Park Deok-heum, Ahn Cheol-soo, Yoon Young-seok, and Han Ki-ho.
