[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, who ranked first ahead of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol in a multi-candidate presidential race poll in the Seoul area, will attend the Democratic Party's Executive Committee meeting on the 9th.

A close aide to Governor Lee said, "Formally, it is an official party schedule, so naturally he will attend," adding, "Substantively, he has rarely attended the Executive Committee meetings before, but since it is Representative Lee Nak-yeon's last schedule, he is attending to show support."
