Ahead of the 3 People Power Party leader election, opposition within the party is growing as MP Lee Cheol-gyu, known as “Chin Yoon”, is mentioned as a strong candidate. It is emphasized that it is in line with public sentiment that Representative Lee, who served as chair of the Talent Recruitment Committee and Nomination Management Committee and was blamed for the landslide defeat in the general election, is coming to the fore line . However, since there is no candidate willing to take the position of leader of the ruling minority party that will face the 192-seat opposition party, the possibility of Representative Lee being elected is increasing.
On the 29th, Congressman Choi Jae-hyung posted an article on social media about Congressman Lee’s candidacy for frontrunner and said, “You can’t just change the clothes and make him run again without replacing the players.” Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun told SBS Radio: “MP Lee is someone who should be punished for losing in the general election, not someone who will receive a reward.” seen in the public eye?” Kim Ki-heung, a former vice presidential spokesperson who lost in Incheon, also said: “We need to think about the public will that emerged in the general election.”
Previously, MP Ahn Cheol-soo had also posted on social media on the 28th: ”I appeal to the key party and government officials who contributed to the crushing defeat in the general election to retire for a second term,” and on the 27th, Congressman Park Jeong-hoon of Songpa-gap, Seoul, said: “Members of the metropolitan area are worried about Congressman Lee taking the lead role. The atmosphere on the ground is negative.” “I’m against it too,” he wrote. On the 25th, Congressman Cho Hae-jin said: “The president’s confidant, who determined the government’s judgment, instead of reflection and self-reflection, is now stepping forward to become the party leader. This is bizarre behavior that goes beyond common sense.”
Opposition opinions against Representative Lee emerge every day, but paradoxically the atmosphere within the party is moving closer to the “Lee Cheol-gyu trend theory”. This is because to date no legislator has announced their intention to run in the leader elections. In a phone call, a lawmaker from TK (Daegu/Gyeongbuk) said: “To raise voices asking: ‘Is it right for this lawmaker, responsible for the crushing defeat in the general election, to be the leader of the room?’ there has to be a real competitor, but unfortunately the reality is that there is none.” The leading candidate, four-term lawmaker Kim Do-eup, had announced the day before that he would not run.
This would be due to the climate of reluctance to accept the “poisonous cup” of being the senior leader of the 22nd National Assembly, where the only thing left to do is to be dragged by the Democratic Party into a situation where there is a extreme opposition between government and opposition parties. One lawmaker mentioned as a candidate said: “There are many issues that the Democratic Party is leading, such as Marine Corps Special Prosecutor Chae Sang-byeong, but there is no way to stop them and it is burdensome I have to be an aide. Another limitation is that Chin Yoon is still the majority in the party. Another lawmaker said: “While this floor leader fights against the opposition parties of Lee Jae-myung, Cho Kuk and Lee Jun-seok, he also has to say ‘no’ to the president to break away from the party vertical. government report which has been pointed out as the cause of the crushing defeat in the general elections. Who will come forward easily?”.
Some point out that the People Power Party has regressed from eight years ago due to three consecutive general election defeats. The Saenuri Party, which lost a seat to the Democratic Party in the 2016 general election, showed its willingness to reform by electing “non-Park” leader Jeong Jin-seok and entrusting the Innovation Committee to the faction’s deputy minor Kim Yong-tae. . But this time, when the opposition party lost 84 seats, there was no such attempt. Rep. Cho Hae-jin said: “The 22nd National Assembly has no choice but to gather as much public support as possible, be it sympathy or support, and use it as a shield, but looking at their current behavior, it seems that the people who only want to experience hell when they die.” Rep. Kim Woong said, “Our party is not at the level of remodeling and needs to be completely demolished and rebuilt,” adding, “There are even opinions that we should even elect the party leader as pro-Yoon so that he can take responsibility.”
Meanwhile, Representative Lee said on social media that day: “Many people have expressed concern about the extreme situation in the National Assembly between the ruling and opposition parties and the appearance of our party. It’s a difficult situation, but I believe that if we move forward steadfastly looking at people, the power of the public will become a counterweight.”
