Essentially a reappointment course…”Goal is systemic overhaul, not just popularity, ‘[Edaily Reporter Kim Beom-jun] Former leader Cho Kuk of the Cho Kuk Revolution Party is challenging for re-election as party leader. The Cho Kuk Revolution Party will hold the first nationwide party member congress among the ruling parties on the 20th.’,

, ‘On the 4th, former leader Cho held a press conference announcing his candidacy for party leader at the National Assembly Communication Hall in Seoul, stating, “I challenge for the second season of the Cho Kuk Revolution Party, aiming to be a party that wins nationwide elections and builds the 7th Republic.”‘,
,
, ‘On the day he declared his candidacy for the next party leader, he appeared wearing the same blue tie he wore at the founding convention of the Cho Kuk Revolution Party in March. Prior to his candidacy, he resigned from his position as the incumbent leader as of midnight and became an individual member of the party.’,
,
, ‘Former leader Cho evaluated himself as having made significant progress from dire straits. He described the path ahead as a thorny path and a route through an unpredictable future, stating, “I will take on the task of finding the way while turning fierce waves behind the ship’s bow” as he threw his hat into the ring for the party leadership election.’,
,
, ‘He reiterated his determination to establish the “Society Rights Advanced Nation” as the goal and constitutional revision to the 7th Republic for its establishment. This entails stipulating social rights in the constitution, strengthening continuity of state affairs, and changing the presidential term to a “single 4-year term” for greater accountability to the people. Additionally, the party plans to discuss shortening the current president’s term together with all political parties.’,
,
, ‘Former leader Cho emphasized, “The Cho Kuk Revolution Party must evolve beyond being a strong party that has entered the National Assembly to become a true popular party” and stated, “We will fight more quickly, strongly, and clearly than anyone else to end the Lee Myung-bak dictatorship of the prosecution.”.’,
,
, ‘Starting from today, Representative Kim Jun-hyung will serve as the acting party leader. Candidate registration for the upcoming leadership election, as well as the formation of a new leadership including the next leader and top executives, will close today. The full party congress is scheduled to be held at 2 p.m. on the 20th of this month at the Suwon Convention Center in Gyeonggi Province. In a situation where there are no significant competing candidates, the reappointment of former leader Cho seems likely, leading to a prevailing view of “where Cho Kuk decides, anyway.”‘,
,
, ‘Regarding such observations, former leader Cho responded, “The Cho Kuk Revolution Party this time does not expect a blockbuster success at the party congress” and said, “Our goal is to ensure democratic legitimacy in selecting the leadership, and to reorganize and stabilize the party organization structure.”‘,
,
, ‘Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is accepting candidate registrations for their August 18th full party congress on the 9th and 10th of this month. Amidst the atmosphere of “where Lee Jae-myung is inevitably the leader,” former leader Lee Jae-myung, who resigned from his position recently, is expected to officially declare his re-election challenge no later than the 9th or 10th and complete candidate registration.’,
,
, ‘The People Power Party is in a state where four candidates, Na Kyung-won, Won Hee-ryong, Yoon Sang-hyun, and Han Dong-hoon, have thrown their hats into the ring ahead of their July 23rd full party congress. Possibilities such as a “Na-Won cooperation” are being considered amidst the atmosphere of “where Han Dong-hoon is inevitably the leader.”.’,
