Legislator Dong-Yong Chung of the official opposition Democratic United Party (DUP) will surrender his veteran post in Deokjin district of Jeonju to pursue his ambitions as a presidential hopeful. New DUP leadership has strategized to have senior legislators run in the ruling Grand National Party's (GNP) strongholds. Chung expects to follow this by claiming candidacy in either Yeongdo of Busan, where he was key in mediating a labour strike earlier this year, or in southern Seoul. Courtesy, The Korea Times.
