The power of the people, Kim Jong-in, chairman of the Emergency Response Committee, will retire on the 8th, the day after the 4-7 re-election. It has been 10 months since he took office in June of last year.
Chairman Kim said in a phone call with Yonhap News on the 6th, “I will leave the party after finishing the non-capital meeting the morning after (8th). He will hold a press conference after the meeting to reveal his position regarding the results of the re-election.
Chairman Kim said, “We believe that we will win the election without fail,” and “No matter how negative there is, we cannot artificially change the results.”
It is known that Chairman Kim will take a break such as a family trip after retirement. Upon his retirement, the people’s strength entered into a system of preparation for the convention for the election of a new leadership. As early as the 12th, it is expected that the formation of the squadron preparatory committee will be decided at the non-capital meeting.
In this case, a new leadership may be established in May. Until then, Ho-Young Joo, the representative of the hospital, will act as the non-delegation chairperson.
However, opinions within the party are divided over whether to maintain a’single leadership system’, in which the party representative has virtually full power, or to change to a’collective leadership system,’ which is discussed by the representative and the highest committee.
The power of the people is scheduled to hold a general meeting of parliamentarians on the 8th to collect opinions.
It is also necessary to decide whether to take it in a’integrated squadron’ method with the National Party. In the process of unifying the opposition candidates for the mayor of Seoul, Ahn Cheol-soo, the representative of the National Assembly Party, pledged to be worthy of the people’s strength after the election.
The fact that the term expiration of the principal in-house representative, who is classified as a potential party leader, is at the end of May can act as a variable in the holding of the sub-unit.
The Eui-Chong will also discuss ways to change the method of electing a running mate for the current in-house representative-policy committee chairman.
