South Koreans are choosing their next president between a conservative who declared the election a war of regime choices and the liberal front-runner looking to overturn a decade of right-leaning rule.
SEOUL, South Korea – South Koreans are choosing their next president between a conservative who declared the election a «war of regime choices» and the liberal front-runner looking to overturn a decade of right-leaning rule.
Tuesday’s election is the culmination of a frenzied two-month race set up by the scandal that toppled Park-Geun-hye, who is now jailed awaiting trial on corruption charges.
Liberal Moon Jae-in was the clear favorite as conservative forces struggled to regroup after Park’s corruption scandal.
