South Korea will hold election on June 3 to succeed ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol .

Announcement came four days after the Constitutional Court removed President.

By law, South Korea must elect a new president within 60 days of Yoon’s ouster.

Deep political polarization will likely shape the election into a two -way showdown between the two major political parties.

Yoon said his martial law declaration was a desperate attempt to draw public support of his fight against wickedness” of Lee ’s party.

Lee Jae-myung has many detractors among the South Korean public who believe he nearly broke the government for his own benefit,” Easley says.
