, “As the People Power Party finalizes the rules for the election of the next party leader, key party members, both internal and external, have begun to mobilize. The news of Han Dong-hoon, former emergency committee chairman, setting up an election camp in Yeouido was followed by Na Kyung-won, a member of the party, hosting the first forum to consolidate internal support. Na stated, ‘The party leader should be elected from within the party, not from outside.'”,
,
, “On the 13th, Na held a general assembly of the research group ‘National Assembly Population, Climate, and Tomorrow’ at the National Assembly Member’s Office Building. A total of 28 people, including 25 regular members and 3 associate members of the research group, attended the assembly. While the main purpose of the research group is to discuss countermeasures for low birth rates and aging population, it can be seen as the first step for Na, who is considering running in the upcoming party leadership election, to consolidate internal support. The assembly started at 9:30 a.m. and ended within 20 minutes.”,
,
, “The autocracy in the parliament is crucial in the opposition’s struggle, and it must be prevented through the parliament”,
,
, ‘After the assembly, Na met with reporters and hinted at his intention to run in the party leadership election. Na, expressing optimism, said, “It’s rare to have a forum with this many regular members.” When asked if he would run in the election, he replied, “In fact, the stage of politics can only be the National Assembly.” While not giving a specific answer, it indicates his willingness to run.’,
,
, ‘Na also expressed his belief that the next leader of the People Power Party should come from within the party. He stated, “I once had an external party leader, and I led the party from within.” He emphasized, “Although there may be advantages to an external party leader, now the autocracy in the parliament is the most crucial aspect of the opposition’s struggle, so we must prevent it through the parliament.” This can be seen as a measure to counter Han, who is considered a strong candidate for the party leadership from outside.’,

However, Lee Chul-gyu, a regular member of the research group, did not attend the assembly.’,
,
, “Meanwhile, it was reported that Han, a former chairman, recently set up an election camp near Yeouido. According to reports, Han is searching for a candidate similar to a running mate for the top position to prevent a ‘second Lee Jun-seok incident.’ On this day, the People Power Party emergency committee decided to maintain a single-leadership system and confirmed the voting ratio for the party leadership election as ‘80% from members – 20% from public opinion polls.'”,
