Main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) Chairman Rep. Lee Jae-myung confirmed his bid to renew his chairmanship for another term by running in the party’s election slated for August.

The move, however, is drawing criticism and concerns not only from the ruling People Power Party (PPP) but also from fringe members of the DPK. Lee, who enjoys fervent support from his dedicated fan base, is solidifying undisputed control over the party without facing significant competition from other strong contenders.

During a press conference at the National Assembly in Seoul, Monday, Lee said he had resigned from the chairman post, a precondition to run in the DPK’s leadership election that will take place 스포츠토토존 during the party’s national convention. A DPK rule stipulates that individuals running for elected positions must resign from any party posts they hold before candidate registration begins.

Lee did not explicitly declare his candidacy for the election, but told reporters, “I will need to monitor how things unfold. However, I can affirm that if I were not considering running for the chairman election, I would not have resigned today.”

He added that the current political environment has influenced his decision regarding the chairmanship election.

“After considering everything, I felt that I should prioritize what is more desirable for the people and the politics of the country over my personal stance,” he said.

The DPK plans to hold its national convention on Aug. 18, and the chairperson elected during the event will serve until August 2026, meaning he or she will have the power to recommend candidates for the June 2026 local elections and for the presidential election in March 2027.

Due to this timetable, Lee’s bid for his second term is viewed as a preparation for future events, namely the presidential election.
