The People Power Party transitioned to an early election system on the 7th and brought forward the 'Lee Jae-myung judgment theory.' They also emphasized party unity and harmony, stating, "The time for impeachment has now passed."
Kweon Seong-dong, the floor leader of the People Power Party, said during the first emergency countermeasure meeting held after the Constitutional Court's decision to dismiss former President Yoon Seok-yeol, "The upcoming early election must serve as a judgment on Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party."
He noted, "Blocking the forces of Lee Jae-myung is the starting point for normalizing the country," adding that "the People Power Party is the most realistic alternative capable of stopping the rampage of the Lee Jae-myung forces."
He emphasized, "We absolutely must not be discouraged or give up. We must reorganize and prepare for the early election." He further stated, "This is an election we cannot afford to lose," adding, "We cannot entrust the fate of the Republic of Korea to the forces of Lee Jae-myung, who might lead this country in an unknown direction."
He emphasized the importance of party unity and cohesion for winning the early election. He stated, "The time for impeachment has now passed. It has become an irreversible history. We must not be held back by the past," urging party members to refrain from excessive criticism regarding positions and actions during the impeachment process.
It was reported that there were demands for the departure of lawmakers Cho Kyung-tae and Kim Sang-wook, who have been advocating for impeachment, during the previous lawmakers' meeting. Regarding their situation, members delegated the issue to the leadership, with the floor leader Kweon drawing the line against some calls for 'pro-impeachment departures.'
The floor leader Kweon noted, "The party is in its greatest crisis. In such a situation, division leads to defeat and self-destruction," adding that "only unity and cohesion will be the way to overcome the imminent crisis and secure election victory. I ask everyone to cooperate to make the upcoming primary an opportunity to unite again."
