Both Moon and Lee Administrations Face General Elections After Exactly 3 Years
Both the Moon Jae-in administration and the Lee Jae-myung administration will hold general elections after exactly 3 years in power.
The Moon Jae-in administration started with a minority government of 123 seats, but after the general election, it secured 180 seats.
However, while focusing all capabilities on COVID-19, amidst the misfortune of figures like Lee Nak-yon and Song Young-gil becoming party leaders,
President Moon, in the latter half of his term, managed to push through the adjustment of investigative powers between the prosecution and the police.
Looking back, that was a miracle in itself.
The Lee Jae-myung administration started with a majority government of about 170 seats and will hold the general election in 2028, exactly 3 years later.
While being branded as "anti-Lee," they have managed to push through prosecution reform, though it felt half-hearted.
By the time the general election arrives, all reforms can be considered lost, and we must worry about whether they will even secure 100 seats.
Although there was a 3-year period under the regime of the unprecedented villain, Yoon Suk-yeol,
Since Moon Jae-in's leadership led to 123 seats and the first party status, the Democratic Party has held the majority in the National Assembly twice and secured the presidency twice.
How a party that transitioned from a Honam-based party to a nationwide party centered on the Seoul metropolitan area will fare under the Lee Jae-myung administration remains to be seen.
