The People Power Party has announced that it will conduct chairperson elections in nine local party councils, including the Yongin Gap district in Gyeonggi Province. This election, which effectively serves as the process for selecting the local council chairperson, will be held through a direct election by responsible party members.
Jeong Hee-yong, chair of the party's Special Committee on Organizational Strengthening, made the announcement during a briefing following a meeting at the party's headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, on September 28.
The regions and candidates participating in the elections include: Dongdaemun Gap in Seoul (Lee Jong-bae & Lee Pil-hyung), Seongbuk Eul in Seoul (Min Byeong-woong & Lee Jin-soo), Gwanak Gap in Seoul (Kim Suk-hyang & Ha Jong-dae), Seo Eul in Incheon (Kim Yu-gon & Shin Seong-young), Namyangju Eul in Gyeonggi Province (Kim Hee-seong & Baek Seon-ah), Yongin Gap in Gyeonggi Province (Yang Hyang-ja & Yoon Jae-bok & Lee Dong-seop), Anseong in Gyeonggi Province (Kim Ui-beom & Cheon Dong-hyeon), Cheongju Seowon in North Chungcheong Province (Son In-seok & Yoon Hee-geun), and Wanju Jin-an Muju in North Jeolla Province (Kim Soon-jeong & Lee In-sook).
In Yongin Gap, a three-way race will take place among Yang Hyang-ja, a Supreme Council member, and former lawmaker Lee Dong-seop. For the 36 local chapters where the chairperson position is vacant, those not holding elections will appoint a chairperson through a decision by the Supreme Council.
Jeong stated, "Candidate registration and election campaigning will begin on October 1, with voting scheduled for October 6 using a mobile phone ARS system for all responsible party members in the region," adding that the candidate with the highest number of votes will be selected as the chairperson.
Additionally, if the leading candidate in Yongin Gap fails to secure at least 50% of the votes, a runoff election will be held on October 8 between the top two candidates.
