The leadership of the Democratic Party of Korea concluded its final Supreme Council meeting before the party convention scheduled for August 17, reflecting on their experiences and urging the new leadership to ensure the success of the Lee Jae-myung administration through party unity.
Acting Party Leader Han Byeong-do stated during the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly, "Today marks the last Supreme Council meeting I will preside over as acting leader. It has been two months since I took on this role on June 25."
He expressed gratitude to those who contributed to the completion of the criminal procedure law amendment, which he described as the final piece of the judicial reform puzzle. "This party convention is taking place with unprecedented enthusiasm. While we compete fiercely, we must unite in the end," he emphasized.
Supreme Council member Hwang Myeong-seon noted, "In three days, a new leadership will be elected. The new leadership must create a stronger and winning Democratic Party. I will also strive to support the party's victory and the success of the Lee Jae-myung administration until the end."
Another Supreme Council member, Kang Deuk-gu, remarked, "I believe we all share a common goal for the success of the Lee Jae-myung administration and the Democratic Party. As a member of the National Assembly, I will work even harder for a more beloved Democratic Party."
Park Gyu-hwan, who previously clashed with Hwang and Kang over the introduction of a preference voting system, stated, "The success of the Lee Jae-myung administration is a dream for all of South Korea and its citizens. The Democratic Party must unite and integrate with its members and supporters. There should be no actions that divide or exclude specific factions, or even seek to eliminate them."
