SEOUL: South Korea’s former opposition leader Lee Jae-myung (pic) still remains the frontrunner for now in a presidential election that will struggle to heal the political divide in a nation racked by leadership chaos in recent months.
As the dust settles on a flurry of resignations, leadership changes and court rulings this week, Lee likely continues to hold the upper hand in a June 3 vote that will pit him against former Acting President and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo or a rival from the ruling People Power Party.
