South Korea: Presidential election held on June 3, the government's decision

Sol, April 8 (IANS). The South Korean government formally announced on Tuesday that the presidential election will be held on June 3. The decision was made after former president Union Suk Yola was removed from the mail. The announcement was made at the Cabinet meeting made four days after the Union Court’s case decision. The court continued the prosecution against Youn, which meant they would have to take off their posts and make new presidential elections. According to the Constitution, it is compulsory to carry out new elections in the country within 60 days of the president’s post. When former President Park was removed from the post on March 10, 2017, the election was held on May 9 exactly 60 days later. The government also declared a temporary public holiday on June 3. Shortly after the decision of the Constitutional Court on Friday, the National Electoral Commission began the registration of candidates. According to the Yonhap News Agency, the new president will take over without any transition team shortly after the election. Explain that President Yu announced in South Korea in South Korea on December 03, but it was canceled after Parliament voted against it. Marshal Law remained in effect for a few hours, but shook the country’s politics. The National Assembly accepted an ominous motion against the President Union Suk Yol. Prime Minister Han Duck-Su took his place, but a prosecution was also given against him. After this, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Choi Song-Mok began to take responsibility for both the acting president and the prime minister of the caretaker. On March 24, however, the Constitutional Court rejected the prosecution of Prime Minister Han Duck-Su and restored him as acting president. -Ians mk/ share this story tags
