After a meeting with candidates from Gyeonggi Province at the National Assembly on the 7th, Chairman Jo told reporters, "I think it is unreasonable to change the situation and refuse to give Chairman Han the opportunity to express his reflections and stance," adding, "The request for a meeting was made in the context of giving everyone who played a meaningful role in this general election a chance to share their thoughts." He continued, "Rather than political or administrative considerations, as the person responsible for the white paper, I am still thinking about how I could not do this," emphasizing, "Whether in writing or in a direct meeting, if you provide your reflections, it will greatly help the white paper."


When asked if any opinions for party innovation were raised during the meeting, he said, "During the general election process, it was said that our election was progressive and lacked capability," and "Everyone unanimously agreed that it is not important who becomes the party leader, but rather what kind of innovation we will pursue."


Although Chairman Jo could not disclose specific innovation plans to be included in the white paper, he said, "There was consensus that in order for Gyeonggi Province to have potential in the upcoming local elections, painful innovation and reform are necessary."



Regarding the timing of the publication of the general election white paper, Chairman Jo and Emergency Response Committee Chairman Hwang Woo-yeo had differing opinions, each claiming decision authority. In response, Chairman Jo explained, "I think we will organize our opinions soon."
