South Korea will hold a presidential election on June 3, the acting president of the country on Tuesday, when former leader Yun Sik Yol was removed from the post of martial law.
The democratic country has been effectively illegal since December, when former president Yun tried to abolish civilian rule, but was quickly affected by lawmakers and suspended it.
The country’s constitutional court retained their motions last week, withdrawing from the higher job and mobilizing the fresh elections, which must be within 60 days.
Prime Minister Han Batet said on Tuesday that the government had appointed the polling day on June 3, adding that it would be termed as temporarily a public holiday for ease of voting.
He said that the date also kept the need to “ensure the election work and allow enough time to prepare political parties.”
Han called on the ministries and the National Election Commission to “make full preparations to ensure elections that are more transparent and more transparent than ever before, and who can gain people’s confidence.”
The winner of the election will be inaugurated the next day, unlike a regular survey, where the president’s election has a two -month transfer period.
For this time, Prime Minister Han is running the government as the acting president, a job that recently resumed after the constitutional court ended his case.
The official era of the campaign will continue from May 12 to June 2.

According to the latest gallup survey, opposition leaders, Lee Jaeing are at the forefront of high jobs, 34 % of the support ratings.
His party already controls the National Assembly.
Lee easily defeated Yun in the 2022 presidential election, but in the shadow of a career, in the shadow of legal problems, including the ongoing cases, he made a political return as a central opposition leader.
Sources told AFP on Tuesday that the Lee is preparing to withdraw from leading the Democratic Party, which will allow them to compete independently for the party’s nomination.
Experts say it is now “very likely” to win.
“With such an election date, it is difficult to expect a presidential candidate to be elected president from an affected party,” said Lee Jun Han, a professor of politics at Ancheon National University.
“The current polling shows that Lee Jay Ming’s approval is a high -ranking rank, and he is very likely to win it, because it looks like he does not have a proper challenge.”
Second place in second place, Labor, Kim Moon.
About nine percent of polling, he guides a packet of the Challengers of the Union People’s Power Party, including former party chief Han Dong Hoon.
Millions of Korean residents withdrew from the post of Yun last Friday, watching the Constitutional Court directly down on television.
Yun sent armed soldiers to Parliament to prevent lawmakers from voting, which the court said, adding that troops have been deployed for “political purposes”.
He is the second South Korean leader who was impressed by the court in 2017 after the Park Jeevan.
South Korea has spent four months without any effective head of the state after the martial law Declaration.
The leadership space is in line with a series of crises and headlines, including the destruction of aviation and the deadliest forest fire in the country’s history.
Last week, South Korea was targeted by President Donald Trump globally, after unveiling the so -called mutual prejudice, its key ally, 26 % of the revenue on exports to the United States.
Yun also faced a separate criminal trial on the martial law bid.
