Minor contenders vying for the presidency are making last-ditch efforts to highlight their campaign pledges and widen public support, Monday with just three days to go until polling day. The Hanaro National Union's Lee Han-dong plans to hit the campaign trail, highlighting his years of experience in state affairs. The former prime minister's key policies include decentralizing the government system and improving the elderly's welfare plan.
Driving out conservative politics and breaking up Korean chaebol, or big businesses are at the forefront of Kim Young-kyu of the Socialist Party of Korea's prime goals, in addition to the abolishment of inheritance rights for the rich and the United States Force Korea's withdrawal.
For the nation's former intelligence chief, Chang Se-dong, he is hoping to broaden his support base by underscoring the need for a strong leader who can boost national security amid times of heightened tensions on the peninsula, while boosting the quality of life for the country's low-income bracket through reduced taxes.
And Buddhist monk Kim Kil-su's key message is to clean up politics as usual, and unify the nation through the Buddhist faith.
