Acting President Han Deok-soo likely to resign tomorrow afternoon... likely to declare presidential election bid on the 2nd (South Korea)

Acting Prime Minister Han Deok-soo is expected to resign from his post tomorrow afternoon to run in the presidential election.
According to government and former ruling party officials on the 30th, Acting Prime Minister Han will
Han will preside over a meeting of security-related ministers on his final day before stepping down. After urging attendees to ensure that there is no vacuum in security even after his resignation, he announced that he will step down as prime minister in the afternoon.
In his resignation message, Han is said to have emphasized the need to resolve the economic crisis caused by the rapidly changing external situation and the increasing social costs caused by the regressive conflict in the political world.
On the 2nd, the day after his resignation, he will officially declare his candidacy and release a message to the nation outlining his reasons for running and his main campaign promises.
This was due to the intense political conflict that had emerged from the emergency law and impeachment,
The plan is expected to include a vision for reforming the structure that is impeding economic and social development and realizing national unity.
The possibility of these plans including the promotion of constitutional reform and the formation of a national cabinet that will unite the factions has been raised. Han also mentioned in the Cabinet meeting the previous day that he would like to promote cooperation between politics and administration, and to promote the Republic of Korea's efforts and future leaps.
He also expressed his deep sense of responsibility for not being able to prevent former President Yoon Seok-yeol from declaring martial law.
Ahead of Han's resignation from public office and his announcement to run for office, his working-level team has set up an office in Yeouido, Seoul.
Na Kyung-won, a member of the ruling People's Power Party, used this during the presidential primary election.
The office was taken over from the Manhattan 21 building in Yeouido, which had previously been used as a presidential election training camp, and if Han declares his candidacy, this is expected to become his election training camp.
If Han declares his candidacy and the People Power Party's final candidate is decided on the 3rd of next month, negotiations between the two parties to unify the party are expected to gain momentum.
Both Kim Moon-soo and Han Dong-hoon, who advanced to the final runoff election, are open to the possibility of joining forces with Deputy Prime Minister Han. However, Candidate Kim is
From the beginning, he showed a positive stance on integrating with Deputy Candidate Han, but Candidate Han remains adamant that now is the time to focus on the primary elections.
Within the People's Power Party, the timing for maximizing the effect of unifying candidates is the center.
It is expected to be the seventh of next month, which is the deadline for ordering the printing of the presidential election promotional materials of the Election Commission. If this date is missed, even if the candidate unification is successful, it will be written as 'the only candidate (People Power)' in the official materials.
If the deadline passes on the 7th, the next deadline is expected to be the 11th of next month, which is the deadline for registering presidential candidates.
Only if he is successful will he be able to use the symbol number 2 regardless of who becomes the sole candidate, and will the power of the people be able to support him at the party level.
If the unification period passes by the 11th, the 25th, when printing of ballots will begin, will be the last day.
This is expected to become a de facto “Maginot Line” because even if unification is successful after this date, the names of both Acting President Han and the People's Power candidate will be printed on the ballot papers, halving the effectiveness of unification.
