After minor opposition People's Party Chairman Ahn Cheol-soo was confirmed Monday as the winner of a third-party primary for the April 7 Seoul mayoral by-election, all eyes are now on whether it will be possible for Ahn and the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) to field a single candidate as he has been suggesting.
But it is widely predicted the discussion to field a single candidate to represent the opposition bloc will not be easy, as the People's Party and the PPP differ on how to select one, with each preferring a method that favors their own candidate

A Seoul mayoral candidate's recent remarks related to the issue of rights of the LGBTQ community have rekindled debates on the matter in political circles.
Conservative minor opposition People's Party leader Ahn Cheol-soo, who is running in the April 7 by-election for Seoul mayor, brought about the controversy after saying that the rights of those who oppose an annual parade held in central Seoul by LGBTQ community members should also be respected, during a televised debate with his rival candidate and former ruling party lawmaker Keum Tae-sup, last Thursday.

With less than two months left ahead of this year's Seoul and Busan mayoral by-elections set to be held on April 7, political watchers are forecasting that voter turnout will be a key factor in determining the winners.
While there are several variables that could affect voter turnout, one of them is that the elections are being held on a work day, not on a public holiday.

Female ministers' exits

Female ministers' exits
President should keep campaign pledge to keep 30 percent share
President Moon Jae-in's reshuffle of three Cabinet members Wednesday sharply lowered the share of female ministers in his administration. The chief executive replaced Foreign Affairs Minister Kang Kyung-wha and SMEs and Startups Minister Park Young-sun with male nominees. The number of female ministers fell from five to three or from 27.7 percent to 16.6 percent of the total 18. We want to believe that the partial reshuffle resulted from applying fair and objective criteria to maximize accomplishments toward the Moon administration's final year in office.
Still, it was regrettable the President failed to find the outgoing ministers' successors from among qualified women, respecting various values such as gender equality, minority rights and social diversity. It showed the nation has a long way to go before becoming an inclusive and advanced society. As a candidate, Moon vowed to keep the share of female Cabinet ministers at 30 percent. He held the promise upon inauguration by appointing five female ministers, compared with one to three female Cabinet members in previous administrations. We hope the latest fall in the proportion of female ministers is a temporary phenomenon. President Moon ought to recruit more women if and when he carries out another ministerial shakeup.
