💨 Abstract

South Korea's main opposition Democratic Party has selected Lee Jae-myung, a former party leader, as its candidate for the upcoming June 3 presidential election. Lee has been leading polls with a double-digit margin over candidates from the conservative People Power Party. Previously, Lee led the Democratic Party to a landslide victory in a parliamentary election, but lost the previous presidential election by the narrowest margin in South Korea's democratic history.
