Lee Jae-myung emphasized 'one team'... Lee Nak-yeon's side "must be a runoff vote"

<Anchor>

Lee Nak-yeon's supporters are demanding a runoff vote for the Democratic presidential nominee. Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung had already been elected as a candidate with a majority of the votes, but there is a problem with the party's decision to nullify the votes received by candidates who resigned during the primary process as they did not originally exist. But the Democratic leadership doesn't seem to have any room to change the decision.

seems like they are actually changing the party into a presidential system by having a meeting.

Candidate Jae-myung Lee said that his role was to be the number one striker in the presidential election and said he would try to form a 'one team' with other candidates who had competed, including former CEO Lee Nak-yeon.

The former representative does not readily agree.

Former Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun and Rep. Kim Doo-kwan, who resigned midway, filed an objection for the runoff, saying there was a problem with the party's decision to nullify the votes.
