With his sentence finalized, Cho lost his "legislative position." This means that he will serve two years in prison, and will lose the right to run for office for the next five years, and will also be barred from running in the next presidential election.
He will also not be able to participate in the vote on the impeachment motion against President Yoon Seok-yeol on the 14th.
Hwang Eun-ha, floor leader of the Fatherland Reform Party, held a press conference before the Supreme Court ruling that day.
In response to a question from reporters about what to do if Chairman Cho is found guilty, he said, "If a situation arises where we have to take over a proportional representation seat, we will complete the procedure as quickly as possible and have the successor take over the votes."
"We will allow them to take part in the decision-making process," he said.
