Regarding the factors behind the presidential election victory, Chairperson Park said, "The people have cast a judgment vote against the Yoon Suk-yeol administration and the insurrection forces," and added, "I believe the desire to recover from the livelihood failures and collapsing economy over the three years of the Yoon Suk-yeol administration is directed toward candidate Lee Jae-myung."
