Ahn Cheolsoo: "Collective Leadership Is Nothing More Than a Mutated Hydra... Single Leadership Needed"

"Collective leadership system is just sharing positions"
"Strong and innovative leadership is needed"

Representative Ahn Cheolsoo of the People Power Party criticized the argument from some within the party that the next leadership should be changed to a collective leadership system, calling it "nothing more than a mutated Hydra that cannot take even a single step forward."

On this day, Representative Ahn stated on social media (SNS), "In the face of an existential crisis, there is only one thing needed: strong and innovative leadership."

He diagnosed the situation by saying, "The People Power Party now stands at a crossroads of life and death, like the Battle of Dabudong," and added, "To save the party, we must change everything from the hair on our heads to the tips of our toes."

He went on to say, "Under a collective leadership system, it is difficult to escape factional infighting, internal strife between camps, and power struggles," and expressed concern that "under the pretext of consultation and coordination, only time will be wasted, innovation will disappear, and the party will once again fall into the swamp of division. In the end, it will devolve into nothing more than sharing positions under the guise of legitimacy."

He ultimately argued that in order for the party to reform itself from the ground up, a single leadership with clear authority and responsibility is absolutely necessary.

Representative Ahn emphasized, "What the party needs is strong leadership with full authority for innovation," and added, "Without self-innovation that cuts to the bone, there will be no victory in the future."
