Kwon Sung-dong, a five-term lawmaker who is considered the so-called "original pro-yoon," was elected to the floor leader of the People's Power, which had been vacant since the emergency martial law crisis.Asked about the position of voting on the impeachment of the president after the election, floor leader
said, "Since the rejection is now a party theory, we need more than two-thirds of the lawmakers to change it," adding, "We will gather our will through a general meeting of lawmakers."
In an earlier announcement of political views, he mentioned the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye in 2016 and emphasized that he had stepped up to prevent a division that was scarier than impeachment.
In his speech on the election, he added that he would reorganize the party's difficult situation as soon as possible and step down after preparing for the upcoming presidential election.Floor leader
won the election by winning a majority of 72 votes in the floor leader election, which took place with 106 out of 108 lawmakers from the party, beating their rival Kim Tae-ho.
