Creative Korea Party


Creative Korea Party was a political party of South Korea. It was formed out of the Uri Party and its resulting civil splinter groups, with their leader Moon Kook-hyun, a well-known former business leader who recently started his political career. Their 2007 presidential bid was unsuccessful, however, they gained 3 seats at the 2008 general election on April 9, 2008, including the election of Moon Kook-hyun at Eunpyeong-eul, Seoul district; but lost all of these seats in the subsequent 2012 general election. They were deregistered on 26 April 2012.

Party platform

They held their nominating convention for 2007 presidential election on November 4, 2007. During that event, its leader Moon Kook-hyun was elected with 8,884 of the mobile phone vote. As one of the pro-governmental liberal candidates, he and his party suffered the pressure of political simplification from several civil organizational leaders for the entire campaigning period. However, although negotiating with the UNDP politicians a lot, he eventually decided to target voters disappointed with both major parties and their candidates. They hoped to reach somewhat over 10% support, but gained a final result of 1.38 million voters which put them in 4th place. However, they earned more votes than the 10-year-old KDLP's result, and gained strong supports from metropolitan city areas, such as Seoul and its suburbs, Incheon, Daejeon, Chuncheon, Jeju, therefore it was judged to be a potential threat to major parties during the 2008 parliamentary election.

2012 election

In the 2012 general election, the party received less than.1% of the constituency votes, and.4% of the national votes for proportional representation. It lost all three seats in the parliament. The party was dissolved as a result.
