EghtesadOnline: South Korea’s presidential election next month is turning into a two-horse race between two former liberal allies, after Ahn Cheol-soo overtook Moon Jae-in in the latest polls.

EghtesadOnline: Five weeks from South Korea’s election, it’s down to a three-horse race. Park Geun-hye’s unprecedented ouster last month triggered a special election set for May 9. Late Monday, frontrunner Moon Jae-in was confirmed as the candidate for the left-leaning Democratic Party of Korea, and Ahn Cheol-soo has all but sealed the nomination for his center-left People’s Party. Hong Joon-pyo will represent Park’s right-wing Liberty Korea Party.
