The Democratic Party (Korean: 민주당) was a political party of South Korea from 1990 to 1991. The party was often called as Little Democrats (꼬마민주당) due to its minority status.[1][2][3]
History
The party was formed by the former members of the
Democratic Liberal Party.[5] The dissidents, led by Lee Ki-taek, officially launched Democratic Party on 15 June.[6] The day, the party held a leadership election, and elected Lee as its Chairman.[6]
However, due to the few seats in the
New Democratic Unionist Party aka NDUP since 15 April 1991).[7] Lee stepped down as the Chairman on 16 November, after the first attempt was failed.[8] However, he then returned as the Chairman on 3 February 1991, since no one could replace him.[9]
The party faced a huge defeat in 1991 local elections, when DLP won majority.[10] After that, the party initiated the 2nd negotiation with NDUP, and agreed on 11 September.[11] 5 days later, both NDUP and DP was successfully combined and re-built as the new Democratic Party.[12]
