2020 Democratic Party of Korea leadership election
The Democratic Party of Korea held a leadership election on 29 August 2020.[1][2] It was the second leadership election since the inauguration of President Moon Jae-in. Although elected leader serves for the fixed two-year term, newly elected leader Lee Nak-yon is unlikely to serve for two years due to his presumptive presidential campaign in 2022.[3][4]
