Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon to not run for president

SEOUL, April 12 (Yonhap) -- Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon said Saturday he will not be running in the June 3 presidential election.

Oh announced his decision at the conservative People Power Party's headquarters in western Seoul, calling on the party and presidential candidates to focus on growth and helping "the weak" for the upcoming election.

Oh had previously been expected to declare his bid for the presidential election, triggered by the ouster of former President Yoon Suk Yeol over his failed martial law bid in December.
