PPP to Publicly Recruit Chairs for 36 Inactive Chapters... Party Member Voting Introduced

Online Applications Accepted Until September 9

The People Power Party will publicly recruit organizational committee chairs for 36 local party chapters that are currently inactive and introduce party member voting into the selection process. The purpose is to swiftly reorganize regional branches while reflecting local party members' opinions in the appointment of organizational chairs.

On September 1, the Special Committee on Organizational Strengthening of the People Power Party announced this plan to publicly recruit organizational committee chairs for National Assembly constituencies. Applications will be accepted through the party's online system from September 7 to September 9.

In particular, this round of recruitment will adopt a party member voting system in the selection of organizational committee chairs. The People Power Party explained, "This is to broadly reflect the opinions of party members in the selection process. We aim to choose individuals with regional representation and organizational competitiveness, based on support from local party members."

However, for the three constituencies—Saha-gu B in Busan, Dalseo-gu C in Daegu, and Ulju-gun in Ulsan—where the local party chair has been suspended from party membership, the committee decided to postpone discussions, considering that the period for appealing disciplinary actions has not yet expired.
