South Korea's acting president begins managing ”next presidential election”

South Korea's acting president (Prime Minister) Han Deok-soo announced on the 4th that he will begin to take full control of the next presidential election following the impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol by the Constitutional Court.
The South Korean Constitution stipulates that "an election to select a successor president must be held within 60 days of the vacancy of the presidency."
On March 10, 2017, the Constitutional Court upheld the impeachment petition, which led to the dismissal of then-President Park Geun-hye.
The election date was set to May 9, 60 days later. An official from the Office for Government Policy Coordination said in an interview with South Korean news agency Yonhap News, "The election date for this presidential election may also be set to June 3, 60 days later.
"There is a high possibility that this will happen," he said, explaining, "This is because the government and political circles need to secure as much time as possible in order to prepare for and campaign for the election."
In particular, Acting President Han will be expected to fairly manage the presidential election and tighten the lax discipline in the public service.
In addition, in the current political situation surrounding the impeachment, Acting President Han will also be expected to reconcile the divided public opinion over whether to support or oppose it.
