Former South Korean Prime Minister Han-Duck-soo has declared his candidacy for the upcoming snap presidential election. Han, who resigned as acting president, vowed to serve the nation to the best of his ability. His candidacy is especially significant for conservatives as they aim for unity against Democratic Party's Lee Jae-myung, who faces potential legal challenges. Meanwhile, new acting President Lee-Ju-ho emphasized stability in governance and fair election conduct, setting the stage for the critical June 3 election.
"For the future of the Republic of Korea, a country I deeply love, and for all of us, I have decided to do what I can," Han said.
"I will do my utmost to be chosen by our people in this presidential election," Han stated in a televised speech.
"I believe the government administration operates under a system. I will try my best to ensure government functions are managed stably," new acting President Lee said.
Han's entry warms up the race among conservatives as they seek to present a united front against Democratic Party frontrunner Lee Jae-myung.
