(Yonhap/KPL) Former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who announced his presidential bid last week, proposed a meeting Monday with the People Power Party's (PPP) presidential candidate Kim Moon-soo, Han's aides said, amid speculation that they may discuss unifying their candidacies for the June 3 election.
Han made the proposal, which Kim apparently accepted, as they briefly met during a Buddha's Birthday ceremony at Jogye Temple in central Seoul, the aides said.
Former Labor Minister Kim won the PPP's presidential nomination Saturday, a move expected to face an uphill battle with Democratic Party (DP) candidate Lee Jae-myung, who has kept a wide lead in opinion polls.
Han, who announced his presidential bid on Friday, has been a favorite among conservatives to challenge the DP's Lee. Han's side has said it would let the PPP determine the terms of unifying Han's candidacy with that of Kim.
