Former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo has declared his candidacy for South Korea's upcoming presidential election, emphasizing a need to balance executive power and lessen political division. His announcement adds to the competition among conservative candidates who seek to unify against liberal frontrunner Lee Jae-myung, who faces legal challenges. Han, a veteran civil servant, aims to introduce constitutional changes to redistribute authority from the presidency to the National Assembly. He also expressed a commitment to contribute positively to the future of South Korea, showcasing an ambition to bring about effective governance.
"I've determined to find what I can do for the future of the Republic of Korea that I love and for all of us. I'll try my utmost to be chosen by the people at this presidential election."
If successful in his bid, Han said he would establish a commission to revise the constitution, aiming to distribute executive authority more evenly between the president and the National Assembly, in line with a system of checks and balances.
