The Democratic Party of South Korea has finalized its internal party line regarding the composition of leadership positions within the newly formed Joint City Council of South Jeolla and Gwangju. This includes decisions on the Speaker, floor leader, and standing committee chairs. The move has sparked opposition from minority parties who feel excluded from key roles. The Democratic Party holds a majority of seats on the council following recent elections, enabling them to dictate the leadership structure. Details of the finalized composition were announced by party officials in Gwangju and Muan. Opposition parties have voiced concerns over a lack of representation and potential for limited oversight. The formation of the Joint City Council follows a recent administrative merger between South Jeolla Province and Gwangju Metropolitan City, aiming for regional integration and efficiency.
