Rep. Yoo Seong-Min elected as ruling Saenuri Party floor leader / YTN

The Saenuri Party has chosen a non-mainstream lawmaker as floor leader, which is widely seen as heralding a change in the ruling party's relationship with the presidential office. In an election staged on Monday, three-term Rep. Yoo Seong-Min won the race for the party's No. 2 position with 84 of 149 votes. He is well known as a critic of the Park Geun-Hye administration. Yoo defeated four-term lawmaker Lee Ju-Young, considered to be from the party's pro-Parkfaction. Lee won 65 votes. Replacing Lee One-Koo, who was nominated prime minister last month, Yoo said he will try to reform the party and closely communicate with the president as well as the government. Yoo's running mate and four-term lawmaker Won Yoo-Chul is to serve as the party's chief policymaker. ▶ 기사 원문 : http://www.ytn.co.kr/_pn/1207_2015020... ▶ 제보 안내 : http://goo.gl/gEvsAL, 모바일앱, [email protected], #2424 ▣ YTN 유튜브 채널 구독 : http://goo.gl/Ytb5SZ [ 한국 뉴스 채널 와이티엔 / Korea News Channel YTN ]
