(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Oul june 08 (qna) - south korea's president park geun-hye is likely to appoint a new prime minister candidate soon.
the presidential office has been searching for "the right person" who possesses the drive to assist in implement reforms and a strong sense of integrity after the previous nomination of ahn dae-hee fell through.
the south korea's president is expected to select a figure from chungcheong province because the ruling saenuri party lost to the opposition in all posts of the region's provincial chiefs in the wednesday local elections according to korea's (kbs world) website.
against this backdrop potential candidates for the new prime minister are said to include many people from the province including sim dae-pyung chief of the presidential committee on local autonomy development and lee won-jong chief of the presidential committee on regional development.
meanwhile speculation is high that a reshuffling of presidential staff is imminent as senior presidential press secretary lee jung-hyun offered to resign saturday. (qna)
