People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk called for party unity during a visit to Ulsan this past Sunday [1].
The push for cohesion comes as the party prepares to form its election campaign committee. The leadership is seeking to solidify support in the Yeongnam region, specifically Busan, Daegu, and Ulsan, through a unified strategy for a single presidential candidate [1].
During the event, Jang emphasized the need to hold opposing forces accountable. "Forces that trample on the constitution must be judged in the local elections," Jang said [1].
Jang also addressed the controversy regarding the retreat of second-term candidates, warning of the consequences for those who abandon their supporters. "The price of betraying the citizens who elected them," Jang said [1].
Floor leader Song Eun-seok joined the call for loyalty, criticizing politicians who undermine their own party for personal gain. Song said such behavior is a betrayal of the party that fostered their careers. "Not just spitting on the party, but a betrayer's behavior of sprinkling red pepper powder," Song said [1].
The rally in Ulsan serves as a strategic effort to create a favorable political wind, often referred to as the 'southeast wind,' to propel the party forward as it organizes its campaign structure [1].
“"Forces that trample on the constitution must be judged in the local elections,"”
The People Power Party is attempting to prevent internal fractures and candidate defections before finalizing its election campaign committee. By focusing on the Yeongnam stronghold, the party aims to ensure that regional loyalty remains intact and that second-term candidates do not deviate from the party line, which could jeopardize their broader strategy for the upcoming local and presidential cycles.
