People Power Party Leadership Candidates Make All-Out Efforts to Win Public Support in Chungcheong

4th Party Convention Joint Speech for Daejeon, Sejong, Chungbuk, and Chungnam in Cheonan on the 15th
Appeal as the Right Person to Defend Against the Opposition and Protect the Yoon Administration

People Power Party representatives Na Kyungwon, Won Heeryong, Han Donghoon, and Yoon Sanghyun appealed for support at the 4th Party Convention joint speech meeting for Daejeon, Sejong, Chungbuk, and Chungnam held on the 15th at the Yu Gwansun Gymnasium in Cheonan, Chungnam.

The People Power Party leadership candidates have begun targeting the Chungcheong region, known as a barometer of public sentiment nationwide.

On the 15th, party leader candidates Na Kyungwon, Won Heeryong, Han Donghoon, and Yoon Sanghyun appealed for support at the fourth joint speech event for Daejeon, Sejong, Chungbuk, and Chungnam, held at the Yu Gwansun Gymnasium in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province.

Before the main speeches began, the party leadership called on the audience to protect President Yoon Sukyeol, a "son of Chungcheong," with the strength of the region.

Emergency Response Committee Chairman Hwang Wooyeow said, "Throughout our country's history, Chungcheong's spirit has provided the right direction at crucial crossroads and defended the nation from foreign invasions. This spirit of moderation is the answer to restoring balanced politics, which can correct the current extreme partisan divide," he emphasized.

He continued, "The opposition party, after becoming the majority through the general election, is trying to hold an impeachment hearing in the Legislation and Judiciary Committee with the sole aim of ousting President Yoon. This is an attempt to seize power, and we must protect the President from Chungcheong."

At the joint speech event, the candidates for Youth Supreme Council member, Supreme Council member, and party leader presented their visions in that order.

In particular, the party leadership candidates all strongly pledged to defend the Yoon Sukyeol administration against the Democratic Party's impeachment attempts, while also continuing sharp criticism of their rivals.

Candidate Na Kyungwon said, "The next party leader has a heavy responsibility to raise the approval ratings of the Yoon Sukyeol administration and block the Democratic Party's impeachment frenzy," adding, "As the floor leader during the Moon Jaein administration, I stood up to the Moon government and ultimately held Cho Kuk accountable. I am someone who knows how to win."

She continued, "Our party has experienced eight party leaders, emergency committee chairs, and acting leaders over the past two years, but we cannot entrust the party to another one-year leader again. Because of presidential ambitions, we cannot afford to go through another emergency committee or party convention in a year."

Candidate Won Heeryong launched a barrage of criticism at Han Donghoon.

He said, "There are revelations and reports that Han had a public opinion team during his time as Minister of Justice. If this is true, it is a serious criminal act," adding, "The opposition is already calling for a special prosecutor law on Han Donghoon to include this issue. With such a serious legal risk, it is impossible to perform the duties of a normal party leader."

Candidate Han Donghoon responded to the attacks against him by saying, "I will not respond to baseless smear campaigns," and asserted, "I am the right person to lead change in the party."

Han said, "Chungcheong is a city of innovation, and the region's innovation will drive innovation in our conservative camp," adding, "During the last general election, the issue of R&D budget cuts was handled roughly and not meticulously. I reflect on this."

He continued, "We must become a competent conservative party and a competent ruling party. We will prevent Korea from going down the wrong path and respond with sophisticated strategies, dignity, and logic."

As the last speaker, candidate Yoon Sanghyun presented regional pledges, such as establishing a Special Committee for Restoring Public Sentiment in Chungcheong, in an effort to win public support.

Yoon said, "Even though we produced a president from Chungcheong, we failed to take care of the region. The central party made serious mistakes," adding, "I will first establish a Special Committee for Restoring Public Sentiment in Chungcheong and actively attract support from the party and central government."

He emphasized, "I will ensure the construction of a civilian runway at Cheongju International Airport, the construction of the Daejeon Industrial Complex, the hosting of the Sejong International Garden City Expo, and the development of the Chungcheong metropolitan railway project."
