Cholla Province Independents Join MDP
May 22 - Four 'mavericks' have joined the Millennium Democratic Party (MDP). Kang Un-tae, Park Chu-son, Lee Chong-il, and Lee Kang-rae, independents all from Cholla Province, have joined President Kim's party flock.
One MDP spokesman said the four handed in formal applications to join the party on Monday morning. The spokesman was confident that they would receive official membership within the week.
The number of seats the MDP hold in the National Assembly will increase to 119 with the addition of the four former independents.
