Jang Je-won, a key pro-Yoon member of the People Power Party, announced on the 12th that he will not run in next year's general election. At a press conference, Jang said, "What could be more urgent than the success of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration? Winning the general election is the minimum condition for the success of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration," adding, "So I am offering my last resources."

Jang said, "I ask you to step over me and achieve victory in the general election to ensure the success of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration." Political circles interpret this statement as a pledge of loyalty to President Yoon.

Attention is focused on what impact Jang's decision not to run will have on the ruling party.
