Kim Min-seok says broad support is key to keeping power
South Korean President Lee Jae-myung has called for a structural majority that reaches beyond his party.
He said the Democratic Party cannot secure another term by relying only on its own supporters, and should seek agreement from centrists and moderate conservatives.
Party leader Kim Min-seok said this goal is essential to winning power again and keeping reforms in place.
Kim said it does not mean recruiting lawmakers from other parties or reorganizing the political landscape.
He said party members may disagree about which reforms to prioritize and how to carry them out, but agree that reforms need lasting public support.
Kim also pointed to past cases in which reforms were reversed after a change of government, and said the party must broaden support while uniting its own side.
Kim Min-seok said building a “structural majority” is essential to keeping his party in power and winning future elections.
He said the goal was to broaden support beyond the party’s core voters, including among moderates and reasonable conservatives.
Kim said party members may differ over reform priorities and methods but share the goal of sustaining reform and remaining in power.
He was explaining remarks by President Lee Jae-myung, who had called for a broader political base.
