People’s Power Representative Lee Jun-seok will start organizing the party before he starts preparing for the June 1 local elections in earnest.
In a phone call with Newsis on the 12th, CEO Lee said, “We will present a proposal for the appointment of major watchers at the Supreme Council meeting next Monday (14th).”
CEO Lee plans to attend by teleconference given that he is currently in self-isolation due to COVID-19.
Representative Lee appointed three-term lawmaker Han Ki-ho to replace Kwon Young-se, who resigned from the post of secretary-general immediately following the election. Assemblyman Han, the predecessor of former Secretary-General Kwon, is expected to oversee the nomination for local elections and the work of joining the People’s Party.
In addition, Rep. Seong Il-jong is being mentioned as the successor of Lee Cheol-gyu, vice president of strategic planning, who was appointed as general assistant to the Presidential Transition Committee. The possibility of the appointment of Ji Sang-wook as the head of the Yeouido Research Institute has been raised, but it has not been confirmed.
CEO Lee said, “First, we will put up the proposal for the appointment of the secretary general and the rest of the staff will be reviewed as soon as they are finished.
