Jung Jeom-sik, the floor leader of the People Power Party, will visit former President Park Geun-hye on August 19. Jung is expected to express gratitude for Park's efforts in supporting the party during the June 3 local elections.

The People Power Party's floor leader's office announced on August 18 that "Jung will visit former President Park at 11 a.m. on August 19" and noted that this is a courtesy visit following his election as floor leader.

While the visit is primarily a courtesy, discussions related to current party issues are also anticipated. Jung is expected to thank Park for her support of People Power Party candidates during the June 3 local elections, where she actively campaigned across various regions.

Park, often referred to as the 'Queen of Elections,' has been credited with rallying conservative forces as she began attending campaign events. There is speculation that Jung may seek advice from Park on unifying party members. Recently, Park has been meeting with People Power Party lawmakers, emphasizing the need for party cohesion. On August 2, she urged the ruling party to fight effectively amid a challenging political landscape.
