SEOUL -- Ahn Cheol-soo, a former rival turned ally who now leads the transition team for South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol, said Wednesday that he will not serve as prime minister for the incoming administration.
Ahn originally was a candidate in the March 9 presidential election before dropping out to back Yoon. Speculation suggested that Ahn could receive a key post in the new administration, which launches May 10, for his contribution to Yoon's victory in the tight race.
