Kim Moon-soo has been officially confirmed as the presidential candidate for South Korea's ruling People Power Party (PPP). This follows his victory over another potential candidate within the party. The PPP registered Kim's candidacy with the National Election Commission today after a vote rejected a motion to nominate former Prime Minister Han Duck-woo. The two candidates failed to reach a consensus to avoid vote fragmentation. The upcoming June 3rd presidential election is critical, occurring amidst a political crisis stemming from the declaration of martial law by the deposed president. Kim aims to build a broad coalition.
