SEOUL -- Support for Ahn Cheol-soo, the former leader of the centrist and second-largest opposition People's Party, is rising sharply in the presidential election in South Korea, halting a dominant lead by Moon Jae-in, a former representative of the reform-minded largest opposition Democratic Party of Korea, in the run-up to the polls on May 9.
The changing landscape of the election, amid the controversy surrounding the impeachment and dismissal of former President Park Geun-hye, is being driven by "shy voters."
