[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lee Nak-yeon, former leader of the Democratic Party of Korea and a presidential candidate, urged the party leadership on the 10th to "promptly process my resignation letter as a member of the National Assembly."
On the same day, Lee said on Facebook, "The party leadership said they would discuss processing my resignation letter after the presidential primary."
Lee stated, "Treating a politician's deeply considered decision in such a manner is disrespectful to fellow politicians and is even more unfair to the management of a fair primary," adding, "It undermines my determination and sincerity."
