After the resignation of former leader Han Dong-hoon, the People's Power discussed the appointment of the emergency committee chairman to deal with the internal strife and lead the party, but failed to reach a conclusion again this time.
Instead, we decided to recommend candidates for each player and gather more opinions later.
I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Son Hyo-jung!
Today, the ruling party continued to discuss who will head the vacant party due to the resignation of former leader Han Dong-hoon, but did it come to a conclusion?
[Reporter]
Yes, the general meeting of the emergency members of the People's Power took place for more than two hours, but we couldn't reach a conclusion.
Kwon Sung-dong, acting leader of the party, met with reporters after a general meeting of lawmakers and said he would collect opinions from each player and recommend specific candidates for the emergency committee chairman.
The candidate recommendation committee will be formed to listen to and reflect opinions evenly from the first to senior.
Joo Ho-young, the party's sixth term and vice chairman of the National Assembly, were reportedly mentioned as candidates for the emergency committee chairman at a closed general meeting of lawmakers.
Earlier, the names of senior lawmakers in the party, including Kwon Young-se and Na Kyung-won, were on the list, and it was also discussed that acting Kwon would concurrently serve as chairman of the emergency committee.
However, at a senior meeting of more than four terms, Kwon reportedly agreed that the "two-top system" is better than the "one-top system" in which the acting chairman also serves as the chairman of the emergency committee.
The ruling party has continued to discuss the appointment of the emergency committee chairman since the resignation of former leader Han Dong-hoon, but it has reached consensus that senior members of the party are suitable, and has not been able to deduce specific candidates.

Acting People's Power Kwon Sung-dong and Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung held a meeting this afternoon, what did they discuss?
[Reporter]
Kwon Sung-dong, the acting leader of the party, and Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, met at 2 p.m. for about 45 minutes after the emergency martial law incident.
This is the first meeting since President Yoon's impeachment bill was passed by the National Assembly.
The meeting was amicable,
First, acting Kwon urged the legislature to withdraw other impeachment bills with strong political offensive characteristics, saying that the legislature should put its heads together for people's livelihoods and security.
In particular, he welcomed Representative Lee's mention of the need to appoint the defense minister and also put the need to amend the "presidential-centered system" on the discussion table.

Representative Lee Jae-myung also responded by saying that it is regrettable that the current situation is not politics, but war, and that he hopes politics will be restored.
In addition, he asked for a proactive review of the supplementary budget for people's livelihoods and stressed that the previously proposed National Security Council is willing to make concessions to the necessary parts.

The meeting was closed to the public, with both parties discussing an extra budget, with the consensus of refraining from political offensives, but no agreement was reached.
So far, I'm Son Hyo-jung of YTN in the National Assembly.
