Tensions are reaching a breaking point within the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) as some members of its minor factions openly denounce Lee Jae-myung s leadership, saying he made the DPK a party of his own.
Lee Nak-yon, a former chairman of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) and co-chairman of the big tent political group, Reform Party, withdrew his agreement to join the coalition camp on Tuesday, citing a failure by the members of the group to integrate.
The Reform Party, a big-tent political party comprised of politicians who broke away from their former parties, held its inaugural Supreme Council meeting, Tuesday, promising that it will end “the meaningless competition” between President Yoon Suk Yeol and main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) Chairman Rep. Lee Jae-myung.
