Yoo Seung-min, a former member of the People Power Party, emphasized on the 26th that he is willing to contribute in any role necessary to secure victory in the upcoming general election.
During an appearance on YTN Radio's 'Jang Sung-cheol's News Myungdang,' Yoo stated, "The April 2028 general election is not just any election; it will determine the fate of conservatism, so we must win."
He noted, "Out of the 122 seats in the capital region, we need to secure 60 to 70 seats to achieve a total of 160 or 170 seats, something we have not accomplished in the past decade. I strongly feel that we must achieve this at least once. I am determined to play a role in this effort."
Yoo also highlighted the importance of the upcoming party convention scheduled for next year. He stressed that to win in the capital region through unity and innovation, it is crucial to form a capable leadership that can effectively lead the general election. He suggested that party leader Jang Dong-hyuk, along with former leaders Lee Jun-seok and Han Dong-hoon, should unite for the goal of winning the election.
He particularly stated, "Regardless of whether one supported or opposed the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk-yeol, we should move forward together. If Chairman Jang wishes to continue his leadership based on what he has demonstrated so far, he must resolve this at the party convention."
Yoo urged influential figures within the broader conservative camp, saying, "No one should be looking ahead to the 2030 presidential election. We need to focus on winning the 2028 general election first, and then we can compete individually. I ask everyone to refrain from mutual criticism and attacks and to approach the general election with the resolve to contribute to victory."
Meanwhile, when asked by the host if he intends to run in the party convention, Yoo replied, "I am not saying that I will run at this moment. However, if I feel that I must do something, I will."
