President Lee Jae Myung said Thursday he would "humbly" accept the public sentiment reflected in the results of the recent local elections, pledging to cooperate actively with newly elected local governments regardless of political affiliation.
Lee made the remarks during a meeting with senior aides at Cheong Wa Dae, a day after local elections and parliamentary by-elections in which his ruling Democratic Party (DP) won the majority of the seats up for grabs.
The DP, however, failed to secure the key Seoul mayoralty, while capturing the mayoralty of Busan, a conservative stronghold.
