Uri, GNP at odds over Assembly senior posts.
(From The Korea Herald)
By Lee Joo-hee Floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties kicked off potentially divisive negotiations yesterday to shape the National Assembly that will be in charge of legislation for the next four years.
The leaders of the Uri Party and the Grand National Party have less than a week to iron out problems since the Assembly's new speaker is to be elected on Saturday and committee chairmen on Monday. The official term of the 17th parliament began on Sunday.
The two largest parliamentary negotiating blocs are still at odds over how to fashion the Assembly speaker team, which comprises a speaker and two vice-speakers, and how to distribute committee chairmanships.
Both parties support sixth-term veteran lawmaker Kim One-ki of the Uri Party as the next speaker to succeed former GNP-member Park Kwan-yong.
But they differ over the vice-speaker seats, with the Uri Party claiming one, and the GNP demanding that one should 0go to a non- negotiating group instead. At least 20 lawmakers are needed for a party to be a negotiating bloc.
For this 17th unicameral Assembly, the Uri Party has 152 seats, the GNP 121 seats, the Democratic Labor Party 10, the Millennium Democratic Party nine, the United Liberal Democrats four, and independents three.
