People Power Party Leader Jang Dong-hyeok: "Fresh Start for Remaining 1 Year, Moving From Party Sentiment to Public Sentiment"

Marking his first anniversary in office today (the 26th), People Power Party Leader Jang Dong-hyeok announced, "We will further expand party member sovereignty by allowing members to directly participate in electing city and provincial chapter heads as well as local party organization chairs."

During a press conference held at the central party headquarters in Yeouido today, Leader Jang stated, "We will fill the party with talented individuals who know how to fight properly."

He continued, "Over the past year, I have focused above all on strengthening the sovereignty of party members," emphasizing, "This is because a political party cannot exist without its members, and the strength of the members is soon the strength of the party."

"For the remaining one year of my term, we will now make a fresh start," he added. "If the past year was a time to revive a collapsed party and rally a scattered conservative base, from now on it is a time to build a solid bridgehead for victory in earnest."

Regarding the evaluation system for elected officials, he said, "We will reorganize it to align with the periodic values of conservatism," and added, "We will establish a new evaluation system targeting members of the National Assembly, metropolitan heads, basic local government heads, and local council members."

As a plan to leap the party forward, Leader Jang put forward the "People Power Party 2.0, Four Major Innovation Projects."

Specifically, he proposed improving party audit evaluation indicators, revising the party constitution and rules for party administration innovation, and launching the Party Member Sovereignty 2.0 Committee.

He also stated that he will create a livelihood vitality PLA (Field-check Patrol, Legislation, and Aftercare) Committee directly under the party leader to encompass various issues such as the economy, diplomacy, security, youth, and the future.

Leader Jang projected, "Based on united party sentiment, we will advance into the 'sea of public sentiment,'" adding, "Building upon a member-centric party, we will take another leap forward into a 'party dedicated to people's livelihoods.'"
