	Uri Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The party was formerly known as the New Party for Participatory Citizens but changed its name on October 22, 2003; according to the party, the name reflects the party's push for national unity and a willingness to public participation and reform.
		The party came to international attention when their members physically blocked the speaker's chair in the National Assembly in a failed attempt to prevent the impeachment vote on President Roh on March 12, 2004.
		Prior to the Uri Party's devastating defeat in regional elections held on May 31, 2006, Chung apologized for the party's "self-righteous attitude and inadequacy".

		The Uri Party sought to deflect criticism by depicting the elections as a "judgment on local governments", highlighting corruption allegations against 85% of local GNP incumbents.
		The Uri campaign failed to resonate with the populace, however, and a poll late last month by Munhwa Ilbo showed that more than half of the voters who supported the Uri Party in the 2004 general elections planned to switch their support to opposition parties.
		The Uri Party would claim a sort of victory if it were able to secure a prize in the capital region (Seoul, Incheon, or Kyonggi province), the southwest region (Kwangju or South Cholla province) or either North or South Chungchong province.

	SKorean ruling party reeling from election whitewash
		The poll is seen as a referendum on the performance of Roh, elected to office on a Uri Party ticket in 2002, and an early indicator ahead of presidential polls next year.
		Most analysts said that the election was more of a defeat for the Uri Party rather than a sweeping endorsement of the conservative GNP, which won all key posts in Seoul and surrounding areas, where the combined population accounts for nearly half of the country's 47 million people.
		Uri Party chairman Chung Dong-Young, whose hopes to run for president next year suffered a setback, resigned to take responsibility for the defeat, which experts said left Roh looking like a political lame duck for the last 18 months of his term.

	Global Insight // Same-day Analysis
		Uri swept to power in the 2004 general elections, fuelled in large measure by public anger over the Grand National Party's (GNP's) impeachment of President Roh.
		South Korea's ruling Uri Party suffered a major setback over the weekend (31 April/1 May 2005), as its candidates failed to win a single electoral position in by-elections for six parliamentary seats, seven mayoral posts and 10 seats on city councils.
		While Uri was hoping to settle the latter issue before the end of the April 2005 parliamentary session (which concludes on Thursday 5 May 2005), there is little indication that the GNP will be in any mood to accommodate, especially in light of its strong electoral showing.

	South Korea's ruling party chief resigns - Boston.com
		The opposition Grand National Party had been expected to win big in the local elections Wednesday, but its landslide victories in some districts further revealed voters' discontent with President Roh Moo-hyun's government for failing to undertake reforms and revive a stagnant economy.
		The Uri Party won in only one local race on Wednesday, for governor of North Jeolla province, according to final election counts.
		The GNP's expected victory had drawn concern from North Korea, which views the party as pro-American and opposed to the course of reconciliation that Roh and the Uri Party have followed since the first and only summit between leaders of the North and South in June 2000.

		With the emergence of vocal conservatives, the ruling Uri Party may naturally face an increasingly uphill battle to push for its agenda, already fraught with weak public support.
		Uri and GNP lawmakers have offered two different assessments of the new right movement, mindful of its potentially differing effect on the ruling and opposition parties.

		Among the key positions the opposition Grand National Party was expected to win were mayors of the capital, Seoul, and second-largest city, Busan, along with the governor of Gyeonggi province that surrounds Seoul, exit polls showed.
		The Uri Party's sole hope was in North Jeolla province, a traditional stronghold of the Millennium Democratic Party, which severed its ties with Uri in 2003.

		Uri Party headquarters in Seoul boomed with chants of “We won, we won” as party leader Chung Dong-young entered triumphantly.
		There was little to choose between the main parties’ economic policies, although foreign investors and Grand National Party leader Park Geun-hye say the Uri Party might indulge militant labour and pursue a radical agenda with a majority in parliament.
		The Uri Party denies this, saying it is wedded to market economics and greater corporate transparency in a country where family-run «chaebol» conglomerates dominate the business scene.

	washingtonpost.com: Liberals to Make Big Gains in S. Korea Election
		In a battle that pitted liberal voters in their 20s and 30s against the conservative older generations, a "revolution of the young" was set to transform the now-small Uri Party -- allied with impeached President Roh Moon Hyun -- into the nation's largest political force.
		According to South Korean media projections based on ballot counting, the Uri Party was poised to more than triple its representation in the 299-seat National Assembly to at least 150 seats, taking majority control away from the establishment-dominated Grand National Party, which won an estimated 103 seats.
		While the Uri Party has been targeted in corruption probes, Roh has also been seen by many analysts to be stepping out of the way of prosecutors, granting them a new measure of autonomy to pursue political transparency and break the traditional ties between politicians and large South Korean business conglomerates.

	Korean liberals seize the day / South's young voters back impeached president's allies, want accord with North
		Uri's victory marked the emergence of South Korea's first liberal- dominated legislature since the 1961 coup that brought longtime military dictator Park Chung Hee to power on what is now the Cold War's last frontier.
		The electoral battle pitted conservative older generations against liberal voters in their 20s and 30s, who turned the formerly tiny Uri Party into the nation's largest political force and signaled what could be new frictions ahead between the Bush administration and one of its most strategically important allies.
		The victory for the Uri Party is likely to put added pressure on South Korea's Constitutional Court to overturn Roh's impeachment and restore the now- suspended president to power, perhaps as early as next month, analysts say.
