Main opposition Democratic Party(DP) chair Lee Jae-myung and former Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum held talks over a luncheon on Wednesday to discuss ways to unify the party to win next year’s general elections. 

After the session which lasted roughly an-hour-and-a-half with no other attendants, Kim told reporters that he advised Lee to meet with former DP chief Lee Nak-yon and convey his views. 

Kim said he also told Lee that the DP can enjoy positive results in the general elections if it pursues integration, stability and innovation in a harmonized manner.

The DP chief on his part, did not speak to reporters following the luncheon but the party's senior spokesperson Kwon Chil-seung revealed details of Wednesday’s meeting. 

According to Kwon, Lee said he would climb every mountain and cross every river for the party’s unity and the general elections.
