Background of the Jang Dong-hyuk leadership's continuation and the party's internal debate over calls for resignation

Although calls for Representative Jang Donghyuk’s resignation are continuing within the People Power Party, an analysis has emerged saying the party leadership is likely to remain in place for the time being. This article was reported on June 16 and summarizes the background of the internal conflict and the factors that could help Representative Jang’s leadership system endure. According to the article, within the party, the shortage of ballots during the June 3 local elections, along with leadership cohesion, opinion poll approval ratings, and the mainstream faction’s wariness about the possibility of independent lawmaker Han Donghoon returning to the party, are cited as factors supporting Representative Jang’s system. There is also speculation that even if a resignation were to occur, it would be difficult for it to lead to an immediate change because of the byelection for Supreme Council members, the issue of the remaining term, and the schedule of the party caucus meeting. On the other hand, the nonfactional bloc is demanding a collective resignation on the grounds of the election results and the need for internal reform, so the internal dispute within the party is expected to continue for the time being.
