Two days after the People Power Party adopted a resolution declaring a clean break from former President Yoon Suk-yeol, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon urged the party leadership to follow through with action.
"It must not end with a declaration," Oh said in a Facebook post on Sunday.
"I am relieved that the resolution declaring 'jeol-yun' (절윤, meaning a complete break from Yoon) was officially adopted at our party's general assembly on the 9th, and I deeply appreciate our lawmakers' decision," Oh wrote. "But what the public is waiting for is visible change. Only then can our candidates in the metropolitan area find a path to victory."
The ruling party held a general assembly on Friday and adopted the resolution in the name of all its lawmakers. The resolution included an apology for the December 3 martial law crisis and explicitly opposed any calls for former President Yoon's political return.
"Innovative proposals for victory are pouring out from inside and outside our party," Oh said. "If the general assembly has shown the path our party must take, the leadership must now be the ones to walk that path."
Oh called for concrete follow-up measures, including personnel reshuffling, rather than stopping at the resolution's adoption.
Oh has currently placed his application for the party's nomination on hold. He has recently warned that victory would be impossible without severing ties with the "Yoon Again" movement, saying public sentiment in the metropolitan area has become "so hostile to our party that it is nearly impossible to run an election."
His latest message is interpreted as another push for the party to translate its anti-Yoon resolution into tangible action.
