Snap election set to take place on June 3
-
SEOUL: South Korea’s main opposition party leader Lee Jae-myung said yesterday he was stepping down as party leader, amid expectations that the current populist front-runner for the presidency in opinion polls would soon declare his run.
South Korea’s labour minister Kim Moon-soo, who has been an unsparing critic of People Power Party members, is indicating an intention to run, also declared his candidacy.
South Korea will hold a snap presidential election on June 3, after former president Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment stemming from a December martial law declaration was upheld.
“I will be now starting new work,” Mr Lee, the Democratic Party leader, told a party leadership meeting aired live on his YouTube channel. He did not elaborate nor confirm he would be standing for the presidency.
