`Lending` of lawmakers protested

Rep. Kang Chang-Hee, a vice president of the splinter United Liberal Democrats (ULD), holds a meeting with his local chapter members at the chapter office in Taejon on Tuesday after paying homage at the Taejon National Cemetery. Kang is openly resisting the defection of three ruling Millennium Democratic Party (MDP) lawmakers to his party, dubbed the "MDP's lease of lawmakers to the ULD."
