Minor right-wing party chair resigns

Rep. Lee Jun-seok, chair of the minor conservative Reform Party chair, resigned as party leader Wednesday. Lee cited a lack of support from within the party in his monthslong reform push since the party's loss in major races in the June local elections and parliamentary by-elections. "I have the full responsibility as the party chair for failing to persuade (my fellow party members)," Lee said. "If I'm standing in the way of other members, my resignation will be the path for the party." Accordin
