Kim Moo-sung, former leader of the Saenuri Party (predecessor of the People Power Party), said on the 22nd, “Former representatives Yoo Seung-min and Lee Jun-seok should not leave the party.” In the political world, there is a prediction that a new conservative party will be founded around the end of this year, targeting votes from the metropolitan area and centrists, led by Bi Yoon-gye, including former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min.
Former Representative Kim said on Facebook on this day, “We cannot get meaningful votes by creating a new party,” and “It is highly likely that we will only get enough votes to disqualify the People Power Party candidate in the metropolitan area and be framed for losing the election.” Former leader Lee Jun-seok and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min have not publicly announced plans to found a new party, but as the general election approaches in about five months, the idea of a new party is spreading in the political world. On the 19th, former lawmaker Yoo responded to a question on MBC Radio about plans to found a new party by saying, “Nothing has been decided. “We are keeping all possibilities open,” he said. Earlier on the 17th, he said, “I will choose whether to leave or stay around December.”
Former leader Kim said on this day, “The party is in the greatest crisis.” At the same time, he said, “The party’s crisis must be overcome by realizing party democracy,” and “The only way to survive is to embrace everyone and hold a winning election through nomination without division through bottom-up nomination as stipulated in the party constitution and party regulations.”
Former leader Kim was the leader of the Saenuri Party during the Park Geun-hye administration and had a conflict with the Blue House and the pro-Park faction while pursuing bottom-up nominations. He founded the Bareun Party with non-Park lawmakers, including former leader Yoo Seung-min, and former leader Lee Jun-seok. He currently serves as a standing advisor to the People Power Party.
