Rep. Seong Il-jong, who was nominated as Secretary General of the People Power Party, said on the 13th that "July is likely" regarding the timing of the national convention to elect the next party leader.

Secretary General Seong appeared on MBC radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' this morning and said, "It is right to adjust the timing as soon as possible in accordance with the party constitution and rules." If you calculate the things that must be done administratively and work backwards, it is impossible until June. “It looks like it will happen, and I think July will be the most likely date,” he said.

He added.

Regarding the revision of the rules of the current national convention, which is '100% of the party's support,' he answered, "Isn't there an area where the party as a whole needs to be reformed?" and "I will tell you later after combining the thoughts of the people, party members, and lawmakers."

When asked whether it would be appropriate for former Chairman Han to decide his own course of action after the results of the 'General Election White Paper Task Force', he said, "The white paper will not lengthen or shorten the national convention period," and "The party's white paper or any other part of it will not be extended or shortened." “Either way, it is right to respect the will of the people,” he said.

Regarding the dinner scheduled for this day with ruling party leaders, including President Yoon Seok-yeol and emergency committee member Hwang Woo-yeo, he predicted, "Isn't the most difficult thing going to be people's livelihood?" and added, "People's livelihood issues will likely be dealt with the most."

Regarding the opposition party's push for the 'National 250,000 Won Subsidy Special Act', he said, "It is violence for the legislative branch to use political power to do what the executive branch should do. The Constitution states that the National Assembly cannot increase the expenditure budget or install expenses without the consent of the government." “He pointed out.
