[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] The 'Political Reform Alliance (tentative name),' led by progressive and left-wing civic groups, will launch on the 15th.

The Political Reform Alliance announced that it will hold a founding convention at 3 p.m. on the same day and form its supreme council. The co-representatives are expected to be Kim Jeongheon, Ryu Jongryeol, and Jo Seongwoo, who are joint founding preparation committee chairs. After adopting the party constitution embodying the founding spirit, the supreme council plans to discuss the formation of a proportional representation coalition party with other parties and forces, including the Democratic Party of Korea.

A representative of the Political Reform Alliance stated, "We need to reach agreements not only on the method of selecting proportional representation candidates and seat allocation but also on the direction and goals of the coalition party."

The Political Reform Alliance is calling for the participation of progressive camp parties and forces. After the Democratic Party confirmed its participation in the Political Reform Alliance through a party-wide vote on the 13th, the alliance said, "Since the Democratic Party has made its decision, we expect more participation from smaller parties," and added, "In particular, we request that the Justice Party reconsider its stance of 'non-participation.'"
