Court Denies Kim Moon-soo's Bid for Party Candidacy

A South Korean court has turned down an injunction by presidential hopeful Kim Moon-soo seeking confirmation of his candidacy within his conservative party, according to Yonhap News Agency. The ruling signifies a setback for Kim amid ongoing disputes within his party.

Kim has been embroiled in a conflict with the People Power Party over the potential unification of his campaign with former prime minister Han Duck-soo, who is running as an independent candidate in the upcoming presidential election scheduled for June 3.

Additionally, Kim's supporters faced a legal disappointment after the court rejected their plea to halt the party from organizing a convention, as reported by Yonhap. This decision adds another layer of complexity to Kim's campaign trail.
