Some of his own party members voted to approve a request by prosecutors to take him into custody on charges of corruption and bribery. The DPK's leadership, Tuesday, called for unity between party members. But the party's mainstream pro-Lee faction chided members who voted for the arrest motion. Other factions of the DPK urged the chairman to step down.
