Former party leaders meet
Lee Jun-seok, center, former chief of ruling People Power Party (PPP), shakes hands with former Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) leader Lee Nak-yon during a book launch ceremony by independent lawmaker Rep. Yang Hyang-ja, left, at the National Assembly in Seoul, Tuesday. While the two Lees are set to establish their respective parties, the event also brought together former DPK lawmaker Keum Tae-sup, who is also seeking to form a party of his own, fueling speculation of a potential coalition for a big tent party in the lead-up to the April 10 general elections.
