On the 22nd, People Power Party candidates who lost in difficult areas such as the metropolitan area in the April 10 general election failed to win the hearts of the metropolitan area and moderates because they were obsessed with ‘Lee-Jo (Lee Jae-myung and Cho Kuk) theory of judgment and the need to protect the president during the election period. “If we don’t reach the middle-income audience (the youth of the metropolitan area), there is no future for the party,” he said, pouring out bitter words at the party insensitive to the crisis. The 160 chairmen of the external organizing committees officially called for the party leadership to “require innovation at the level of a re-established party” and for an innovative emergency response committee to be established and for the rule of “100% party members” of the current national convention should reflect 50 % of party members and the public each did so. 160 out of 164 external presidents participated.

Former candidates Seung-hwan Lee (Jungnang-eul, Seoul), Un-kyung Ham (Mapo-eul, Seoul), Jin-ho Park (Gimpo-eul, Gyeonggi-do), Sang-soo Park (Seo-gu-gap , Incheon) and Je-hwa Ryu (Sejong-gap) held the “Defeat of the 2024 General Election and the Path to Conservative Reconstruction” at the National Assembly Hall on this day. The reason for the defeat was his failure to present a pledge to counter the Democratic Party of Korea’s livelihood recovery support fund of “250,000 won per capita” and his bias in judging Lee and Jo.

Former candidate Lee pointed out: “In the eyes of the people, we were seen as incompetent gangsters, and the Democratic Party was seen as skilled thugs.” Former candidate Park Sang-soo said, “The Democratic Party’s pledge of cash welfare of ‘250,000 won per person’ was a strong incentive for ordinary people, but we had no weapons to counter it.” Former candidate Ham pointed out: “It is the ruling party that can alleviate people’s hardships by all kinds of means, so what kind of judgment do they make on Lee Joo and the movement’s rights?”

Rep. Sang-Hyeon Yoon (4th term, Incheon Dong-Michuhol district), who hosted the seminar, said: “The thing to be most wary of is the graveyard atmosphere where people feel uncomfortable in noisy debates despite crushing defeat. He added: “Now is the time to innovate and be angry. “An easy answer will only lead to an easy defeat,” he said.

The temporary delegation of the People Power Party (Kim Jong-hyuk, Oh Shin-hwan, Son Beom-gyu) of the People Power Party External Organizing Committee met with plan leader Yoon Jae-ok at the National Assembly for about 30 minutes and said: “We hope to move forward as a competent political party that immediately reflects public sentiment and an inclusive political party that can include diverse voices.” he submitted a request. The chairmen of the external organizing committee intend to form a 14-person task force (TF) and continuously provide innovative plans to the party leadership. Furthermore, in addition to the “Prime Ministry” (which meets on the first Thursday of each month), made up of candidates between 30 and 40 years old, it was decided to organize 4050 and 5060 groups to make their voices heard in favor of the reforms.
