Although the impeachment motion against President Yoon Seok-yeol was dismissed, it is anticipated that a significant portion of the central role in state administration will shift to Prime Minister Han. First, cooperation between the ruling party and the government is expected to be strengthened to negotiate with opposition parties on next year’s budget bill and other matters. Before convening the Cabinet meeting, at around 11 a.m. on the same day, Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the People Power Party, will hold a joint press statement with the Prime Minister.

Immediately after the impeachment motion was dismissed the previous day, Prime Minister Han stated, "I will do my utmost to ensure that the current situation is promptly resolved and that the nation's security and the daily lives of the people remain unwavering." He also urged, "All Cabinet members and public officials in each ministry should faithfully carry out their duties to maintain the stability of the people's daily lives."
