The People Power Party has appointed Kim Seung-soo, a two-term lawmaker representing Daegu Buk, as its new Floor Leader. Following a general meeting of lawmakers, Kim will be officially appointed and will collaborate with Floor Leader Jeong Jeom-sik to develop legislative strategies and engage in negotiations with the opposition.
Jeong introduced Kim to reporters at the National Assembly, stating, "Kim has extensive experience bridging central and local government, having worked with the Blue House and Daegu City Hall. He has also served as the secretary of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee and has been involved in legislation to promote the tourism industry."
Kim expressed his concerns about the challenges facing the party, saying, "I worry whether I can fulfill my duties given my limited capabilities, especially in such difficult times. However, I accepted this role as a responsibility entrusted to me by our supporters during these challenging circumstances."
He added, "I will work to restore trust in our party and strengthen unity and cohesion within it. Through these efforts, I will do my utmost to prevent the destruction of constitutional order and the drift toward dictatorship under the Lee Jae-myung administration, thereby safeguarding the constitutional order of a free Republic of Korea."
Following Kim's appointment as Floor Leader, Jeong is expected to announce the appointments of other leadership positions within the party.
Meanwhile, Kim began his schedule by accompanying Jeong during a visit to meet with Han Byeong-do, the Floor Leader of the Democratic Party.
