In South Korea, as the conflict between the ruling party and the main opposition party deepens, influential politicians who left the two major parties have announced that they will launch a new political party, and people are interested in how much it will affect the situation in the general election to be held in April. It seems like there will be a lot of people.
In South Korea, a general election is scheduled to be held once every four years on April 10th, and both the ruling party, People's Power, and the largest opposition party, the Democratic Party, are proceeding with the selection of authorized candidates.
Under these circumstances, four minority parties and political forces made up of politicians who left the two major parties announced on the 9th that they had agreed to merge.
Of the four factions, the name of the new party will be the ``Reform New Party,'' which was formed in January.The name of the new party will be the same name as the ``Reform New Party,'' which was formed in January.The name of the new party will be ``Reform New Party'' leader Lee Jun-seok, and Lee Nak-yeon, who left the main opposition party. Two former prime ministers will serve as joint representatives.
One of the members who announced the merger said, ``We will run candidates in single-member constituencies who will significantly disrupt the monopoly of the two major parties,'' making it clear that they will directly challenge the existing parties.
In South Korean politics, the ruling party and the largest opposition party, which are at odds over various policies, often criticize each other in harsh terms, and it has been pointed out that there is a sense of distrust among the people.
For this reason, there is likely to be growing interest in the extent to which the newly born party will influence the election situation as a third party.
