The minor opposition People’s Party has elected its former presidential candidate Ahn Cheol-soo as its new leader in a national convention on Sunday.

In a leadership election at the National Assembly, Ahn won 51-point-09 percent of the vote, defeating three other contenders Chun Jung-bae and Chung Dong-young, and Lee Un-ju.

The entrepreneur-turned-politician will fill the top post that has been vacant for about 110 days since former leader Park Jie-won resigned in May over Ahn’s loss in the presidential election.
