Lee Jae-myung, leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, has been nominated as the party's candidate for the June 3 presidential election. Leading opinion polls with a significant margin, Lee previously lost the 2022 election and faces ongoing legal controversies.
Lee Jae-myung, leader of South Korea's Democratic Party of Korea, was officially nominated as the party's candidate for the upcoming presidential election set for June 3. Lee has maintained a strong lead in opinion polls, with a significant margin over rivals from the conservative People Power Party, which will announce its candidate on May 3.
Lee, who led the party to a sweeping victory in the 2024 parliamentary elections, had been the expected winner of the primary after easily defeating two other candidates. The 61-year-old lawyer and politician previously lost the 2022 presidential election by a narrow margin to current President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was recently impeached.
Lee, known for his bold political moves, was instrumental in opposing Yoon's martial law declaration in December 2023 and also survived a knife attack during a public appearance in Busan. Despite legal controversies, including a recently overturned election law conviction, Lee remains a prominent figure with a complex legal and political background.
Before his leadership role, Lee served as mayor of Seongnam and governor of Gyeonggi Province, South Korea’s most populous area.
