, “Hwang Woo-yea, the Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, stated that the timing of the party’s national convention for selecting the party leader could be delayed by more than a month compared to the previously discussed late June to early July.”,
,
, ‘On this day, Chairman Hwang appeared on SBS Radio and said, “It was mentioned that the national convention would be held around late June or early July, but according to the party constitution and regulations, at least about 40 days are needed for the national convention. If we were to hold it at the end of June, preparations would need to start from May 20th.” He added, “However, the election of the floor leader is also being delayed, making it physically difficult to do so.”‘,
,
, ‘He also mentioned, “We need to finalize the rules for the national convention and decide on the preparatory period for the candidates. Instead of setting a specific date, we should try to proceed swiftly without rushing and handle it carefully. I expect that the delay will be more than a month.”‘,
,
, ‘Regarding the current rule of ‘100% party member vote’ for the national convention, he expressed, “There are opinions that only party members should be allowed since it is about selecting the party leader. However, there are also opinions from individuals in significant areas of society such as journalists, public officials, educators, and businesspeople who may find it difficult to join the party but their opinions are needed.” He indicated that the possibility of changes is open for discussion.’,
,
, ‘He added, “The process of gathering opinions and discussions is necessary, and decisions will be made through agreement in the consensus body.”‘,
,
, ‘Chairman Hwang stated that after being elected as chairman of the Emergency Response Committee, he had a conversation with President Yoon Suk-yeol, saying, “Let\’s work hard.” He also mentioned that there will be meals arranged for the committee.’,
,
, ‘Regarding the reasons for the defeat in the April 10 general election, Chairman Hwang analyzed, “As the ruling party, we should have apologized and asked for forgiveness from the people for our mistakes, and declared our determination to do better in front of the nation. We should have presented to the people in detail what the ruling party would do for the next four years, but instead, it was difficult as the framing was centered around ‘586 Settlement’ and ‘Judgment of Lee Jae-myung and Cho Kuk’.”‘,
,
, ‘He also said, “In fact, we only lost by 5 percentage points in the national vote, but since there was a significant gap in the number of seats, I think we should have carefully examined proposals like the metropolitan large electoral district system proposed by Kim Jin-pyo, the National Assembly Speaker.”‘,
,
, ‘Regarding the statement he made during the inauguration press conference about ‘firmly establishing the identity of a conservative party,’ he said, “Many people question whether the People Power Party is truly a conservative party.” He added, “I think we should firmly establish ourselves as a conservative party centered on conservative values and work on attracting those in the center or progressive side.”‘,
,
, ‘He continued, “When we talked about expanding our outreach in the general election by recruiting personnel from the progressive side or embracing progressive policies, we ended up losing support from our side as well as losing supporters to the progressive side.”‘,
,
, ‘He expressed concerns about neglecting those who have worked faithfully on the conservative side and about voicing the conservative side, saying, “We need to show that there is a true conservative root in our party. We need to expand the outreach of conservatism but be cautious not to compromise or weaken conservative values.”‘,
