Former Saenuri Party leader Hwang Woo-yeo appointed as new chairman of People Power Party emergency committee./News 1
Hwang Woo-yeo (77), former leader of the Saenuri Party, was appointed as the new chairman of the emergency response committee of the People Power Party on the 2nd. Chairman Hwang will head the so-called “management-type emergency committee” which will lead the People Power Party until a new party leader is elected at the national convention. There are high expectations that the People Power Party congress to elect a new party leader will be convened in late June or early July. For this reason, some argue that emergency leader Hwang Woo-yeo is a “two-month temporary leadership.”
The People Power Party called a national committee meeting on this day to vote for and against President Hwang’s nomination, and passed it with an approval rate of 91.8%. The “Hwang Woo-yeo emergency committee” is the fourth emergency committee of the ruling party (Joo Ho-young, Jeong Jin-seok, Han Dong-hoon and Hwang Woo-yeo) since the inauguration of the Yoon Seok-yeol government . Since the establishment of the current government, the only party leader elected through primary elections is former leader Kim Ki-hyun, who was elected last year at the March 8 National Convention.
Immediately after taking office on this day, President Hwang met with Kim Jong-hyuk (Goyang Byeong, Gyeonggi Province), Son Beom-gyu (Incheon Namdong-gap), and Oh Shin-hwan (Seoul Gwangjin-eul), who they are serving as a temporary delegation of external party council chairmen who lost the general election, to hear their views on ways to innovate the party. When they asked that “50% of public opinion polls should take into account the election of the party leader,” President Hwang reportedly replied, “We will actively consider it.” Ahead of the National Convention on March 8 last year, the People Power Party, led by the pro-Yoon Gye, changed the previous rule for selecting party leaders, which was “70% of the votes of party members and 30% of public opinion polls”, in the current “100% of party members’ votes”. However, after the ruling party suffered a crushing defeat in this general election, there have been a series of calls, especially from Biyoon-gye and metropolitan leaders, that “30 to 50 percent of the polls of national opinion were reflected in to better listen to public sentiment”. President Hwang reportedly said, “We will communicate with the president’s office through an official channel,” and added, “Even if someone other than the president or the chief of staff comes and says, ‘This is the president’s will ‘, I will not do that”. Believe it.”
Although President Hwang has been appointed, it is expected to take another week to form the new leadership, including the appointment of emergency committee members. President Hwang said in a phone call with this newspaper: “I intend to appoint a member of the emergency committee after listening to the views of the new leader who will be elected on the 9th.” President Hwang said, “The composition of the emergency committee members will be balanced in terms of generation, region, inside and outside the National Assembly, gender, etc.” to 6.” In addition to the members appointed by the president, the floor leader and the policy committee chair also participate as ex officio members of the emergency committee. Regarding the selection of emergency committee members, President Hwang said : “I will also discuss it with the president’s office.” Also said: “The ruling party, the government and the presidential office must work as one body” and “It is not right for one party to receive instructions from the other. or that one party monopolizes (leadership composition).
Some within the ruling party also raise doubts about whether President Hwang will adequately play a role in revising party leaders’ election rules and innovating the party structure beyond the “emergency management committee.” Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun, mentioned as a possibility to run for party leader, said in a phone call: “This emergency committee has the characteristics of a management-type emergency committee preparing the national convention, but more importantly , it must be an innovation-type emergency committee.” Rep. Yoon said, “The emergency committee must determine why we suffered a crushing defeat and consider how to overcome it in the future.” “
