On this day, the Democratic Party's presidential election preparation team disclosed the first appointment plan of the campaign committee containing these details a day before the official launch of the campaign committee.

The Democratic Party announced that it will organize the campaign committee with the concepts of 'Dream One Team, Integrated Open Platform, Vision Future' and raise the anchor for the launch of the Lee Jae-myung government. To this end, they decided to form the campaign committee through four axes: 'Convergence, Mammoth, Vision, Field.'

In particular, they expressed a strong will to become a 'One Team' for regime re-creation by forming a 'Melting Pot Campaign Committee' where all candidates who competed with candidate Lee Jae-myung during the primary process become one. They plan to create presidential pledges that encompass the core visions, agendas, and major policy opinions of each candidate, and implement a one-district one-function system per lawmaker so that the central and regional voices can be equal, aiming to form a mammoth-level campaign committee with the participation of all affiliated lawmakers.

The standing advisory group of the campaign committee includes former party leader Lee Nak-yeon, former Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun, former party leader Lee Hae-chan, and standing advisors Kim Won-ki, Moon Hee-sang, Oh Chung-il, Lee Yong-deuk, Lee Yong-hee, and Lim Chae-jung. The co-chairs of the campaign committee will be jointly held by floor leader Yoon Ho-jung, primary candidates Kim Du-kwan, Park Yong-jin, Lee Kwang-jae, and the campaign committee chairs of each primary camp: Woo Won-shik and Byun Jae-il (Lee Jae-myung), Seol Hoon and Hong Young-pyo (Lee Nak-yeon), Kim Young-joo (Chung Sye-kyun), National Assembly Deputy Speaker Kim Sang-hee, and lawmakers Kim Jin-pyo and Lee Sang-min, totaling 12 people. Former Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae will serve as honorary election campaign committee chair, and party leader Song Young-gil will take the standing campaign committee chair position as customary.

The appointment plan for the special advisory group, directly under the candidate, was also announced. The general special advisory group leaders will be jointly held by lawmakers Ahn Min-seok, Jung Sung-ho, and Lee Won-wook, with lawmaker Wi Seong-gon as the senior deputy leader. Former ambassador Park No-byeok was appointed as the foreign affairs special advisor, and former Blue House foreign security special advisor Kim Hyun-jong was appointed as the international trade special advisor. Lawmakers Park Hong-geun and Choi In-ho will serve as secretaries, lawmaker Kang Hoon-sik as political coordination chief, and lawmaker Han Jun-ho as executive chief.

The first appointment announced on this day focused mainly on three-term lawmakers as committee chairs and general headquarters chiefs, and in the second appointment to be added after the official launch ceremony of the campaign committee tomorrow, first- and second-term lawmakers will also take roles, so the scale of the campaign committee is expected to expand further.
