South Korea’s Lee favours four-year presidency with re-election
President Lee Jae Myung backs constitutional reform to allow presidents to serve a four-year term, seek re-election and strengthen parliamentary powers.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has advocated for constitutional reform that would permit presidents to serve a four-year term and seek re-election, according to a report by Yonhap news agency. The presidential Blue House official informed that this model enjoyed broad public support. Lee also expressed concerns over the concentration of power, which critics have referred to as the country's "imperial presidency," the Yonhap news agency reported.
The official stated that constitutional reform must be deliberated and pursued within the National Assembly, where amendments necessitate backing from at least 200 lawmakers and should be grounded in political consensus. Presently, the presidency is limited to a single five-year term.
