Chairman Cheon Har-ram Withdraws from People Power Party to Join New Reform Party

Cheon Har-ram, chairman of the People Power Party Council, is holding a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Hall in Yeouido, Seoul on the 29th to announce his withdrawal from the People Power Party and joining the New Reform Party. 2023.12.29/News 1 People Power Party Cheon Haram, Jeollanam-do Suncheon Gap Party Council Chairman, declared his withdrawal from the party on the 29th. Chairman Cheon decided to take on the position of chairman of the party creation preparation committee for the ‘New Reform Party’ (tentative name) promoted by former leader Lee Jun-seok. It has been two days since former representative Lee announced his withdrawal from the party and the creation of a new party on the 27th. Starting with Chairman Cheon, it is expected that lawmakers from the Lee Jun-seok faction will continue to leave the party.

Chairman Cheon held a press conference at the National Assembly this morning and said, “Leaving the People Power Party was by no means a light decision. “After deep consideration, we internally decided that it would be very difficult to fundamentally reform the People Power Party in a short period of time,” he said. “We judged that creating a new political party for the future was not only a great necessity, but also a high possibility of success.”

Chairman Cheon continued, “The New Reform Party will compete fiercely with other political parties, but we will not demonize the other party or define it as an enemy.” He added, “The main enemy of the New Reform Party is not President Yoon Seok-yeol, emergency committee chairman Han Dong-hoon, or Representative Lee Jae-myung. “South Korea’s critical problems such as low birth rate, disappearance of rural areas, low growth and poverty are the main enemies of the New Reform Party,” he said.

Chairman Cheon said, “I will not be buried in political disputes that will be forgotten in a day, but will fiercely deal with the issues that determine our future,” and “I will strive to persuade more people through constant change and innovation.” “We will not give in to the political world’s preconceived notion that if we touch it, we will lose votes, and if necessary, we will address any topic and discuss it broadly,” he promised.

Among former Representative Lee’s key close associates, Cheon Ah-yong-in (Cheon Har-ram, Heo Eun-ah, Kim Yong-tae, and Ki-in Lee), Chairman Cheon was the first to announce his withdrawal from the party and joining the new party, and it is expected that Gyeonggi-do Rep. Lee Ki-in and Rep. Heo Eun-ah will also join. see. Representative Lee will hold a press conference regarding his future in the afternoon of the same day. Rep. Heo also plans to announce his future plans next week. Previously, former Supreme Council member Kim Yong-tae decided to remain in the People Power Party.
