The Democratic Party’s(DP) freshly elected chairman, Lee Jae-myung, and the party’s new leadership will pay a visit to former President Moon Jae-in on Monday.
Lee and the newly elected leadership first visited the Seoul National Cemetery on Monday morning before attending a meeting of the party’s Supreme Council.
The council will then travel to Yangsan in South Gyeongsang Province to visit former President Moon in the afternoon.
The visit is interpreted as an effort to quell internal conflict between the pro-Lee faction within the party and members who are not in that group.
Lee was elected as the party’s new leader at the national convention on Sunday, securing 77-point-77 points of votes from party members and opinion polls, and will serve a two-year term along with the rest of the new leadership.
As chairman, Lee will hold the right to recommend the party’s candidates for the next general election for 2024.
