Amid the signing of the "party recall system" by party members demanding the resignation of Heo Eun-ah, the leader of the New Reform Party, Heo protested, calling it an illegal and unfair recall system.

Lee Kyung-sun, chairman of the New Reform Party and the party's chairman, said in an emergency notice to party members that he had tried to resolve the situation, but that it was not enough to restore the broken trust in the current leadership.

In response, representative Heo Eun-ah wrote on social media that attempts to shake up the leadership on the grounds that they have different opinions from the representative do not fit with the politics pursued by the New Reform Party.

The New Reform Party's recall system is a system that can summon party leaders and elected supreme council members who have serious reasons for not being able to perform their duties, such as violating party constitution and party regulations.

More than 20% of all the top party members and more than 10% of the top party members in each city and province vote by signature, and if more than a third of the top party members vote and a majority vote, the respondent will lose his position immediately.

Earlier on the 16th of last month, when Heo replaced former Secretary-General Kim Chul-geun, who clashed over how the party was run, Rep. Lee Joon-seok demanded Heo's resignation and said he would push for a recall system.
