The People Power Party's election for its next floor leader took place on June 10, with four-term lawmaker Kim Do-eup and three-term lawmaker Jeong Jeom-sik advancing to the runoff. Seong Il-jong, who finished third, was eliminated.

The party held a general meeting at the National Assembly to conduct the election, which featured a three-way contest among Kim Do-eup, Jeong Jeom-sik, and Seong Il-jong.

An initial vote was held, but no candidate received a majority of the votes, prompting an immediate transition to a runoff vote. The next floor leader is expected to be elected in this runoff.
