SOUTH KOREA: Presidential Candidate Nominated
South Korea's ruling Democratic Liberal Party yesterday nominated
cochairman Kim Young Sam as its candidate for president He
received about two-thirds of the convention votes{
His only
rival, Assemblyman Lee Jong Chan, withdrew his candidacy on
Sunday but still received roughly one-third of the vote.
Comment: Kim's success in the presidential race will depend largely
on his ability to get rival faction members, including those who only
lukewarmly supported his nomination, to campaign vigorously for
him. He needs their full effort, especially to overcome regional
animosities between voters in North Kyongsang Province and those
in his South Kyongsang home base. Kim's political acumen and
President Roh's diplomatic skills, which have kept the faction-ridden
DLP essentially intact so far should heln tp encourage intraparty
cooperation.
