South Korea is set to hold a presidential election come June 3, 2025.
The Prime Minister Han Duck-soo stated this to newsmen, adding that it would be declared a temporary public holiday to facilitate voting.
Han called on ministries and the National Election Commission to make thorough preparations to ensure an election that is fairer and more transparent than ever, and one that can earn the trust of the people.
He said the winner of the election will be inaugurated the following day, unlike a regular poll, where a president-elect has a two-month transition period.
He said South Korea has spent the four months since the martial law declaration without an effective head of state.
