SEOUL ¨C South Korea¡¯s politcal right is looking to remake itself after a massive defeat in this week¡¯s snap presidential election that left it with little power to challenge the ruling Democratic Party.
New leader Lee Jae-myung and his party now control parliament and the presidency with Tuesday¡¯s polls exposing the smouldering resentment in South Korea over former President Yoon Suk Yeol¡¯s botched martial law declaration in December.
The attempt at military rule led to Yoon¡¯s removal from office and the eventual defeat of the conservative People Power Party, which was unable to overcome divisions within the right and unify around a single candidate.
