SOUTH Korea's liberal opposition picked a human rights lawyer as its presidential candidate yesterday in a bid to derail conservative frontrunner Park Geun-hye's ascent to the top job in December's polls.
Moon Jae-in easily beat three minor contenders from the Democratic United Party in the three-week party primaries but faces a formidable task of trying to form an alliance with the independent and popular software entrepreneur Ahn Cheol-soo if the left of center is to make a serious challenge against Park.
"You have chosen a change for the Republic of (South) Korea, a transfer of government power, a victory of the Democratic United Party and me," he said in his acceptance speech at the party convention in Goyang.
Moon, an earnest but lackluster speaker whose most prominent job was chief of staff to former President Roh Moo-hyun, has tried to paint Park as little more than a privileged child of a former president while he grew up in poverty.
Moon, 59, trails behind Park in public opinion polls and ranks third behind Ahn, who has no party affiliation.
