SEOUL -- The line-up in the race for the South Korean presidency became clear on Friday, as the main conservative opposition People Power Party selected former prosecutor general Yoon Seok-youl as its candidate for next March's poll.
Yoon will face off against Lee Jae-myung of President Moon Jae-in's ruling Democratic Party, and other candidates including Ahn Cheol-soo -- a centrist running for the third time. Moon is not able to run again as South Korean presidents are limited to a single five year term.
