SEOUL -- The two front-runners for next month's South Korean presidential election are neck-and-neck in opinion polls, giving a third center-right candidate the chance to be kingmaker.
Ahn Cheol-soo, a former medical doctor and entrepreneur who finished third behind President Moon Jae-in in the 2017 election, has vowed to stay in the race up until the March 9 poll. But he has kept the door open to forming an alliance with Yoon Suk-yeol of the conservative People Power Party.
