It is known that Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung will resign as the governor of Gyeonggi Province as early as the 22nd and begin full-fledged presidential campaigns.
Candidate Lee, the governor of Gyeonggi Province, is expected to officially announce his resignation as the governor of Gyeonggi Province after completing a state audit by the National Assembly Land and Land Committee on the 20th.
A key official from Lee's side said in a media call today, "I think I will resign during this week because my work as governor will be roughly completed after the National Inspection is over. I plan to do it,” he said.
As candidate Lee resigned, it is known that he hopes to say goodbye to Gyeonggi-do officials who have suffered with him through retirement ceremonies, etc.
For this reason, it is said that the 22nd is the most important date for retirement, while the 22nd and 25th, which are weekdays, are being discussed.
He plans to register as a candidate for the presidential election immediately after resigning.
Another official said, "If you have a governorship, you cannot take any political action at all." "If I resign, I will register as a preliminary candidate and conduct an election campaign as a preliminary candidate based on policy and vision."
Candidate Lee previously said in the National Supervisory Service yesterday regarding the timing of his resignation from the position of Gyeonggi governor, "After the National Supervisor is over, we will collect the opinions of the people and take appropriate measures through appropriate procedures."
