Outgoing main opposition People Power Party(PPP) floor leader Kweon Seong-dong has warned against divisive behavior and urged his fellow party lawmakers to stop blaming each other for the recent election defeat.

At a press conference Thursday, Kweon accused some in the party of opportunistically seeking to promote themselves by tearing other members down.

Kweon said the party should learn a lesson from the failure of the Yoon Suk Yeol administration and the June 3 presidential election and start a process of self-reflection and innovation.

Addressing the discord between a faction close to former President Yoon and another faction that supports former PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, Kweon said he hopes the new floor leadership will heal internal wounds and that all the lawmakers will put the party’s interests first.

A new floor leader is set to be elected Monday.
