The People Power Party on the 27th voted on an amendment to its party constitution and rules in the emergency response committee that prohibits the president from interfering in party affairs such as nominations and personnel. This is a follow-up action to the promise made by presidential candidate Kim Moon-soo to put in place institutional measures to fundamentally block presidential interference in party affairs.
On the same day, the People Power Party held a meeting of the emergency committee at the National Assembly and voted on an amendment to the party constitution and rules, establishing a provision to prohibit presidential interference in major party affairs such as nominations and personnel.
It also voted on the establishment of a 'faction non-acceptance' provision that prohibits actions that undermine intra-party democracy, autonomy, and competitive autonomy by making specific individuals or groups central.
After the meeting, Emergency Committee Chairperson Kim Yong-tae met with reporters and noted, "Candidate Kim had expressed his willingness to normalize relations among the party, government, and president as a reform task a few days ago," adding that it reflects the party's determination for reform and normalization of relations among the party, government, and president.
Earlier, on the 25th, Candidate Kim pointed out issues with the vertical party-government relationship during former President Yoon Seok-youl's administration and stated that he would specify the three principles of party-government cooperation, separation of party and president, and faction non-acceptance in the party constitution.
The amendment passed by the emergency committee on that day will be finalized after approval from the Standing National Committee on the 28th and the National Committee on the 31st.
Meanwhile, the People Power Party also announced the formation of a 'Lee Jae-myung Gyeonggi governor Turtle Island corruption investigation special committee' chaired by Assembly member Kim Eun-hye (Bundang, Seongnam).
The committee includes Chairperson Kim and Commissioners Kwak Gyu-taek (Busan Seo-gu Dong-gu), Joo Jin-woo (Busan Haeundae-gap), Jo Ji-yeon (Gyeongsangbuk-do Gyeongsan), Park Jun-tae (proportional), Park Chung-kwon (proportional), Jung Pil-jae (Gyeonggi Siheung-gap party branch chair), and Kim Yoon-sik (Gyeonggi Siheung-eul party branch chair), totaling 8 members.
