Rep. Lee Jae-myung, former leader of the main opposition Democratic Party (DP), won an overwhelming victory in the primary in Seoul on Saturday, poised to become the party leader for a second term.Lee won 92.43 percent of combined ballots cast by registered party members in Seoul, the last round of primaries, followed by former Interior Minister Kim Doo-gwan with 6.27 percent and another candidate, Kim Ji-soo, at 1.3 percent.Having accumulated nearly 90 percent of votes in 17 rounds of primaries and from party members abroad, Lee is widely expected to be elected the new leader during a national convention on Sunday.In June, Lee resigned to run for reelection as the current party rule stipulates the party chair must resign from his leadership position to be eligible as a candidate.Lee is considered a leading candidate for the liberal party for the next presidential election in 2027, though he is at the heart of several scandals, including a land development scandal in Seongnam, south of Seoul.Sourc e: Yonhap News Agency
