Senior lawmakers of the People Power Party, those with four or more terms, have agreed to request regular meetings with party leader Jang Dong-hyuk. There were also calls for a clearer voice moving forward.
After a meeting of senior lawmakers on August 26, Representative Lee Jong-bae told reporters, "Many participants agreed that it will be difficult for the party to win the general election in its current state."
He added, "We decided to request regular meetings with the party leader as much as possible," and noted concerns that recent disciplinary actions against lawmakers could harm party unity and cohesion. He suggested that efforts should be made to foster harmony among the lawmakers facing disciplinary measures.
However, only nine of the 19 senior lawmakers attended the meeting, falling short of a majority. As a result, they plan to convene again soon to gather more opinions. There was also a consensus among senior members to meet more frequently and express clearer positions.
Lee stated, "The meeting between the party leader and senior lawmakers will be a time for mutual understanding," and emphasized that not all senior members oppose the leader's direction. The aim is to share ideas for the party's development and success in the general election.
