After the electoral lost, he was made Chief Secretary to the Speaker of the National Assembly, and then Secretary-General of the National Assembly. Following Saenuri's defeat in the 2016 election, Chung stood against Na Kyung-won in the ensuring parliamentary leadership election. Although the election was widely expected as neck and neck, Chung defeated Na by obtaining additional supports from 23 MPs. He was also made interim party president; the position was vacant since the resignation of Kim Moo-sung. Chung, however, stepped down amid the impeachment of the then President Park Geun-hye in December 2016. After his re-election as an MP in the 2020 election, he was a potential Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly by the United Future Party, but he refused the bid. He accepted the bid in 2021 and was elected on 31 August 2021.
