Since the impeachment, the people's power has been making efforts to compete for political leadership, formalizing their participation in the "Yeongi-Government Council" and holding a high-level government-government council with the government.
Discussions on the formation of an emergency committee are also continuing, and for now, an experienced person took over as head and gathered opinions in the direction of leading the party with the current floor leader.

The power of the people has decided to participate in the "Council between the ruling and opposition parties" for public welfare and security consultations.
It has been five days since Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, officially proposed the launch of the "National Political Stability Consultative Body."

Acting party leader Kwon Sung-dong stressed that Chairman Woo Won-sik, not the Democratic Party, first proposed the launch of a consultative body in August, and that the ruling party responded.
There was an interpretation that it was a check against the Democratic Party in order not to lose the political leadership.
In the morning, acting Kwon held a high-level party-government council meeting to discuss early implementation of next year's budget and ways to support small business owners to restore the people's livelihood economy.

Acting President Kwon, who recently increased his contact with ministers and vice ministers, also urged Acting President Han Deok-soo to fill the vacant ministerial position.

Therefore, the appointment of the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Public Administration and Security is urgent.]
The People's Power Emergency Committee, which aims to be launched next week, is set to become a "two-top" system in which the new emergency committee chairman shares his authority with floor leader Kwon Sung-dong.

Na Kyung-won and Kwon Young-se are mentioned as candidates for the emergency committee chairman, and there is no disagreement that at least the experienced floor leaders should stabilize the party.
Immediately after the impeachment was passed, the People's Power leadership issued a warning, saying that it was a "corresponding act" to release a recording of a closed general meeting of lawmakers containing the mess to the media.
Although it seems to have been dealing with internal strife for more than 15 days after the martial law incident, many inside and outside the party say it is questionable whether the division can be easily sealed, with a sharp response saying, "The comrade relationship has already gone out of the water."
