The Democratic Party of Korea, an innovative ruling party that supports the Moon Jae-in administration in South Korea, will hold internal elections at 11 locations nationwide to determine official candidates for the presidential election in March next year. The final results were announced in the capital Seoul on the night of the 10th.
According to this, Lee Jae-myung, the governor of Gyeonggi-do near Seoul, has won a majority of the votes so far and has been selected as an official candidate.
Mr. Lee is expanding his support because the message he sends is easy to understand, and he is appealing to work to eliminate the disparity by introducing a basic income that guarantees the minimum income by unconditionally paying a fixed amount to the people.
In the latest poll released by the polling agency "Gallup Korea" on the 8th, Mr. Lee was the leader among the ruling and opposition parties with 25% support as a suitable person for the next president, and in the presidential election. It is a form that gathered expectations within the party as a winning candidate.
On the other hand, the largest conservative opposition, "People Power Party," has narrowed down the candidates to four and plans to elect them next month.
Opposition parties aiming to regain power are intensifying their pursuit of fraudulent suspicions about urban development projects when Lee was the mayor of Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, and the ruling and opposition parties are likely to intensify their offense and defense toward the presidential election. ..
