People Power Party leader Jung Jeom-sik visits Park Geun-hye

Jung Jeom-sik, floor leader of the People Power Party, visited former President Park Geun-hye at her residence in Daegu on the 19th. This marks Jung's first visit to the former president since his election as floor leader in June.

During the meeting, Jung expressed gratitude for Park's active support during the June 3 local elections, where she campaigned for party candidates in various regions. The visit is viewed by political observers as an effort to consolidate the conservative base following a decline in party approval ratings. Recent polling indicates a downward trend in support, particularly among conservative voters and in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region.

In response to these challenges, the party leadership is pursuing various reform measures, including a party-centered renewal plan and organizational restructuring through special committees.
