The main opposition People Power Party on Monday apologized for the 2024 martial law declaration by then President Yoon Suk Yeol and pledged to sever ties with him amid an ongoing internal feud ahead of the June 3 local elections.
The announcement came in a resolution issued in the name of all party lawmakers, as the party grapples with falling public support after Yoon's martial law attempt and internal divisions over its political direction and ties with the former president.
Some party members have called for a clear break from Yoon, while others back the so-called Yoon Again movement.
"We once again sincerely apologize to the public for the great confusion and disappointment caused by the wrongful declaration of the Dec. 3 martial law," the resolution read. "We clearly oppose any calls for Yoon's political comeback."
The resolution was read by floor leader Rep. Song Eon-seog, while all lawmakers attending the meeting, including party leader Jang Dong-hyuk, stood in support.
