[Report]

Three-term lawmaker Song Eon-seok has been elected as the new floor leader of the People Power Party, and will lead efforts to recover from the presidential election defeat and counter the opposition.

In a three-way contest against lawmakers Lee Heon-seung and Kim Seong-won, Song secured a majority with 60 out of 106 votes, confirming his election without a runoff.

[Song Eon-seok/People Power Party Floor Leader: "I feel a heavy responsibility, and I will do my best with all my efforts."]

The new floor leader, a former bureaucrat from the Ministry of Economy and Finance, pledged to restore the party's support base as a policy-oriented party.

He emphasized the need for a swift party convention to ensure stable leadership and announced plans to form an innovation committee to discuss reform proposals, including those from emergerncy response committee chair Kim Yong-tae.

[Song Eon-seok/People Power Party Floor Leader: "Change and renewal are necessary, and regressive actions that revert to the past are fundamentally wrong."]

He also declared a strong commitment to fighting against the opposition.

He stated that he would reorganize the standing committees to secure the chairmanship of the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee.

[Song Eon-seok/People Power Party Floor Leader: "To restore parliamentary politics, it is the ruling party that must first make concessions in such matters."]

He urged negotiations on key legislative issues, including the ruling party's expedited commercial law amendment.

[Song Eon-seok/People Power Party Floor Leader: "We will consider whether it is desirable for the people and whether it will save the future of our economy."]

It is reported that Song has received support from the former pro-Yoon faction and lawmakers from the Yeongnam region, and securing the momentum to confront the large ruling party through internal party stabilization and factional unity is an immediate challenge.
