On the 3rd, Candidate Kim Moon-soo, selected as the nominee of the People Power Party for the 21st presidential election, is surrounded by the pro-Yoon (pro-Yoon Suk-yeol) faction and the anti-impeachment (opposing the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk-yeol) faction.
Looking at the campaign's election strategy headquarters, the general election strategy chief is re-elected lawmaker Jang Dong-hyuk. Representative Jang is considered a leading hardliner who has strongly opposed impeachment, having participated in several outdoor rallies urging the dismissal of former President Yoon's impeachment.
Representative Park Soo-young, classified as pro-Yoon and who also opposed the impeachment of former President Yoon, serves as the head of the policy headquarters and has played a leading role in shaping Candidate Kim's pledges. Representative Park is also the most active regarding unification with former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who declared his independent candidacy for the presidential election on the 2nd.
Representative In Yo-han, classified as pro-Yoon, is working as the chair of the Special Committee on Strengthening the Korea-U.S. Alliance, and former Supreme Council member Kim Jae-won is serving as the head of the public relations media headquarters in the camp.
Representative In and former Supreme Council member Kim resigned after the impeachment motion against former President Yoon passed in the National Assembly last year, although they had served together in the leadership with former Representative Han Dong-hoon. The two had clashed with former Representative Han, who expressed support for the impeachment motion.
Five-term lawmakers Na Kyung-won and Yoon Sang-hyun, who were active at the forefront of the 'anti-impeachment' campaign, also joined in supporting Candidate Kim during the primary period.
After being eliminated in the first round of the People Power Party's presidential primary, Representative Na declared her official support for Candidate Kim, stating during a press conference on the 30th of last month that he is the 'right candidate for the anti-Lee Jae-myung big tent.' Alongside Na’s declaration of support were mid-level lawmakers Han Gi-ho, Lee Jong-bae, Song Eon-seok, and Lee Man-hee.
Following the failure in the presidential primary and declaration of retirement from politics, key figures from Hong Joon-pyo's camp also moved en masse to Candidate Kim Moon-soo's camp. Among those supporting Kim were Representative Yoo Sang-beom, who served as the chief of the situation headquarters, as well as Representatives Baek Jong-heon, Kim Wi-sang, and Lee Young-soo, the central chair of the New Future Preparation Committee.
