The main opposition People Power Party will hold a convention next month to elect new party leadership.

According to party spokesperson Ham In-kyung on Friday, the convention will take place at the Cheongju Osong Convention Center in North Chungcheong Province on August 22.

A candidate registration notice will be issued July 25, followed by two days of registrations at party headquarters in Seoul’s Yeouido area between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. from July 30 to 31.

Primaries will be held August 20 and 21.

Party member voting will count for 80 percent of the final result, and a public survey will count for 20 percent.

When asked about party innovation committee chair Yoon Hee-suk’s recent calls for the outcome to be based solely on the public survey, the spokesperson said the party constitution would have to change before it could make such a decision.
