SEOUL, July 3 (Xinhua) — South Korea’s parliament on Thursday approved Kim Min-suk’s candidacy for the post of prime minister.
The proposal to appoint Kim Min-seok, a lawmaker from the ruling Toburo Democratic Party, was approved by 173 votes in favor, three against and three abstentions.
Of the 300 members of the National Assembly, controlled by the ruling party, lawmakers from the conservative opposition Civil Power Party refused to vote on the issue, calling on Kim Min-suk to step down voluntarily.
Kim Min-suk was appointed prime minister on June 4 after President Lee Jae-myung was sworn in. –0–
