History
Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk announced on 13 February 2024, that he was planning on establishing a new political party with the aim of fighting against "prosecutorial dictatorship".[7] He subsequently registered the Cho Kuk New Party (조국신당) as a preparatory party establishment committee with the National Election Commission. After holding a naming contest for the party, its name was changed to the Rebuilding Korea Party on 29 February 2024. The party selected true blue as its primary color.[8] The party was officially founded on 3 March 2024 at the party's establishment ceremony.[9]
In the 2024 election, the RKP won 12 seats, all of which were proportional representation seats (RKP did not stand candidates for the district seats).[10] This made KRP the third-largest party in the 300-seat South Korean parliament, after the Democratic Party (DP), which won 175 seats, and People Power Party (PPP), which won 108 seats.[10]
