Rival parties have selected their candidates for over 80 percent of 254 constituencies for the April 10 general elections through their self-professed fair nomination process, but the finalists do not live up to expectations, falling short of wowing voters.
The ruling Democratic Party (DP) on Monday nominated former finance minister Kim Dong-yeon as its candidate for the governorship of Gyeonggi Province in the June 1 local elections. He will compete with the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) s Kim Eun-hye, who served as spokesperson of President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol.
