Generation change or carry on as before?
The next regular parliamentary election in South Korea is just under four months away. The conservative People Power Party (PPP) of ruling President Yoon Suk-yeol is hoping to win back the majority from the opposition Minju Party after several years of drought. However, unrest reigns on both sides: resignations, departures and rumours of mergers and new formations. A large proportion of the electorate is still undecided as to who they should vote for on 10 April. The race remains undecided.
In just under four months, South Korea will elect a new parliament. However, the country's two major parties are characterised by power struggles and tensions. It remains to be seen who will succeed in closing the ranks first.
