\n A group of non-mainstream lawmakers of the main opposition Democratic Party (DP) warned Tuesday they will leave the party this week unless party leader Lee Jae-myung accepts their reform demands.<\/p>\n
Rep. Cho Eung-cheon, one of the four members of an anti-Lee group called Principle and Common Sense, made the remark in a radio interview, saying the group will announce their departures if Lee does not respond to their calls for change by Wednesday.<\/p>\n
“Chairman Lee has only one day left,” he said. “If we don’t get an answer, it will leave us with no other choice.”<\/p>\n
Cho and the three other lawmakers of the group have requested Lee step down as party leader and the DP distance itself from hard-core Lee supporters.<\/p>\n
Cho also left open the possibility of joining hands with newly burgeoning political parties, such as the one envisioned by Lee Nak-yon, a former DP leader, or Lee Jun-seok, a former leader of the ruling People Power Party.<\/p>\n
He said a “big tent” created by those who are not affiliated with either of the two
\nmajor rival parties could offer more choices for voters in upcoming elections.<\/p>\n
