People Power Party considers resignation and election schedules: "Resignation in February, Election in April" or "Resignation in March, Election in May"

 The People Power Party has begun considering two options regarding President Yoon Sukyeol's future: 'Resignation in February, Election in April' or 'Resignation in March, Election in May.'

On December 10, Lee Yangsoo, the head of the National Assembly Stability TF, said in a private emergency meeting, "Due to legal and economic risks, we should confirm a planned, orderly resignation within this week. We must prepare for the anonymous vote on the impeachment of President Yoon at the plenary session on December 14." Multiple attendees reported that Lee Yangsoo discussed these options with Representative Han Donghoon at 9 AM that day.

Lee Yangsoo emphasized, "Compared to impeachment, the 'Resignation in February, Election in April' or 'Resignation in March, Election in May' options provide a quicker timeline. If the impeachment gets approved, the president would resign in June and the election would take place in August, which creates the advantage of minimizing national division and reducing uncertainty by resigning and holding the election sooner." Some expressed concern that this would delay the conclusion of the higher court case for Lee Jaemyung, leader of the Democratic Party, who was sentenced to probation for violating election laws, but the dominant opinion was that a June resignation would not be practical due to the public opinion.

They also discussed strategies to persuade the president on the proposed plan. Lee Yangsoo stated, "The president should choose a safe and honorable resignation over impeachment. I will persuade (President Yoon) to not step down immediately because he needs to deal with the martial law situation. Besides, if we want to hold the presidential election in 60 days, we need to organize the election by selecting candidates and discussing the constitutional amendments."

The People Power Party believes that organized support from senior party leaders and religious leaders is needed to create a favorable atmosphere for the president's resignation.
