A support group for Song Young-gil, a member of the Democratic Party, launched an organization in Gwangju on the 21st to encourage his bid for party leadership. The group, named the “Song Young-gil Party Leadership Preparation Committee,” aims to mobilize support for his candidacy. The launch event, held in Gwangju, signals a concentrated effort to garner backing from the Jeolla province, a traditional stronghold for the Democratic Party. Supporters are actively calling for Song to formally announce his intention to run for the position. This move suggests a potential challenge to the current party leadership and a reshaping of the party’s direction. The committee intends to build a strong organizational base to influence the upcoming party elections. Further details regarding the committee’s strategies and membership were released at the launch event.
