People Power Party to Hold General Meeting Tomorrow; Election Petitions and Jang Dong-hyuk's Future on Agenda

The People Power Party will hold a general meeting of lawmakers at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow, June 17, to discuss issues including election petitions and the future of Representative Jang Dong-hyuk, which has been raised by some within the party.

This general meeting was convened after Floor Leader Jeong Jeom-sik accepted a request from party lawmakers, including members of "Alternative and Future," a group of reform-minded lawmakers within the party.

During the meeting, the party is expected to confirm the appointments of incoming deputy floor leaders, including Kim Seung-soo, the senior deputy floor leader for operations, and Kim Mi-ae, the senior deputy floor leader for policy.

The meeting is also expected to cover the agreement reached by the ruling and opposition floor leadership regarding the National Election Commission (NEC) crisis, the push for a special counsel investigation into the NEC, and negotiations for the formation of the second-half National Assembly.

In particular, as lawmakers have expressed varying opinions on whether the party should demand a re-election regarding the "ballot shortage" during the June 3 local elections, a heated debate is expected over Representative Jang's call for a "full re-election."
