The main opposition Liberty Korea Party is likely to nominate former Gyeonggi Province Gov. Kim Moon-soo for Seoul mayor in June's local elections, a key party source said Saturday.
The Seoul mayoral race is the most closely watched contest in the gubernatorial and mayoral elections. Current Mayor Park Won-soon is seeking re-election, while former presidential candidate Ahn Cheol-soo is also expected to announce his candidacy soon.

The LKP had previously considered nominating Lee Seog-yeon, a right-wing civic activist and former minister of government legislation, for the race, but Lee turned down the offer.
The party source said the LKP has determined that former Gyeonggi Province Gov. Kim is a good candidate for Seoul mayor and asked him whether he's interested in running for the job, and Kim responded positively.
The LKP is also expected to nominate former two-term Kim Tae-ho for governor of South Gyeongsang Province and former six-term lawmaker Lee In-je for governor of South Chungcheong Province, according to the source. (Yonhap)
