Kwon Sung-dong, the floor leader of the People's Power Party, said he will gather consensus from lawmakers before voting on the president's impeachment and make a final decision on his position, such as whether to vote or not.
Although the "anti-impeachment" party is still maintained, attention is focused on the outcome of the vote as the "predictions of the ruling" are also coming out within the pro-Yoon Seok-yeol faction.
Reporter Lim Sung-jae's report.

Floor leader Kwon Sung-dong did not decide whether to change the party's stance until a day before the vote on President Yoon's impeachment.
{Impeachment Void' reaffirmed that there was no change in the party's theory, but said it would be decided at the general meeting of lawmakers before the vote whether to maintain it or not.

It leaves room for the party to change, but in fact, it has added strength to the existing party theory, saying that comprehensive consideration is needed to determine whether it is time for impeachment.It is also read in the same context that President
Yoon is still a stern president or emphasized that the declaration of martial law should be judged by judicial authorities.

There is still a majority of "opposition to impeachment" within the ruling party, but it is also true that the trend of "ga-yeol" is spreading.
Even in the pro-yoon circles, there are many remarks that acknowledge that the possibility of approval has increased.

The observation is also fueled by the fact that seven ruling party lawmakers have expressed their public approval, and the number of lawmakers who will attend the vote itself is more than twice as many.
Representative Han Dong-hoon's "pro-impeachment" position and secret ballot are also expected to affect it, and there are many predictions that it will exceed the eight people who left the "impeachment cordon."
