Han Duck-SOO announces the nomination on June 3 in elections to replace the former president, Yun Suk Yol.
South Korea has divided its third president, Acting in less than six months, as his predecessor announced his candidacy in early elections to replace the former leader who was isolated by Yoon Sok.
Education Minister Lee Joe pledged to ensure “stability” as he was appointed as an Acting Commander on Friday, a day after Prime Minister Han Daco stepped down to run in the June 3 elections.
“I will do my best to ensure that government jobs are managing.”
The appointment of a new prosecutor was the appointment of Han’s nomination for further uncertainty in the election race that was raised due to doubts about the left-wing armed eligibility, Lee Jay-Maung from the Democratic Party.
“I was determined to find what I can do for the future of the Republic of Korea, which I love and all of us,” Han told a press conference at the National Assembly on Friday.
“I will try to choose it to choose it by people in this presidential election.”
On Thursday, the Supreme Court canceled the acquittal of Lee Jay Meong on violations of the election law, and returned the case to the lower court.
If his conviction is supported before the elections, Lee, who has controlled opinion polls for several months, will be excluded from the race.
The elections were summoned next month after Yun, a former public prosecutor who turned into a conservative politician, from his position because of his censure announcement of martial law in December.
While the Yoon Declaration lasted less than six hours before being voted by the Legislative Council of South Korea, the political uncertainty and chaos it launches continues to echo after about six months.
Han, 75, assumed the prosecutor after isolating Yun on December 14, before being isolated and replaced by Finance Minister Choi Sang Mok.
In March, the Constitutional Court canceled the isolation of Han, and regained him to the role of an Acting leader.
Han, a veteran and bureaucratic politician, as prime minister in the liberal and governorate departments, in addition to playing the role of the Minister of Commerce, the Minister of Finance, and the United States.
Although he does not belong to a political party, Han is expected to ally with the Conservative Yun Party.
He said that his campaign platform will focus on limiting the strength of the executive and amending the constitution to add more checks and balances.
After Han’s announcement, the Democratic Party accused him of abandoning his duties as an influential leader.
“We warn former Prime Minister Han,” said Democratic Party spokesman Nuh Jong Mion.
