People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyeok rejected calls to resign on April 24, reversing earlier remarks that he would consider his position, as the party’s approval rating fell to a record low 15 percent ahead of local elections. He argued stepping down would not help electoral prospects and blamed internal divisions for declining support. Critics within the party, including senior lawmakers, urged him to take responsibility, citing leadership failures and unresolved conflicts, while Jang defended his U.S. trip and said he would be judged by results.
