Han must innovate the nomination system based on the Yeongnam region and attract reform-minded candidates for the election to the party instead of nominating candidates based on school or regional connections.
After taking his new role as head of the emergency committee of the People Power Party (PPP), Han Dong-hoon, the former Justice Minister, must be agonizing over whether or not to persuade former PPP leader Lee Jun-seok to return to the party.
One thing for sure is that people no longer are fooled by the image of the moment.
Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon has just been recruited as the interim leader of the embattled People Power Party (PPP) to help the government sail smoothly through the next three and a half years.
Han should not assume the role if he is not as determined as former President Roh Tae-woo, who, as the ruling party’s head, staked his political life on the introduction of the first direct presidential election in 1987.
The PPP must go to basics. It must stop establishing an emergency leadership committee, which goes against a court ruling. Kweon must resign as floor leader and form a new leadership for the party.
