According to political circles on the 20th, People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok reportedly asked Representative Kwon to take on the chairmanship.

Considering that Leader Lee is planning a method to bring opposition presidential candidates into the People Power Party for a primary election, the Chair of the External Cooperation Committee is expected to play a key role in communicating with influential presidential candidates outside the party.
