| | General elections for the 16th term of the Korean National Assembly are scheduled for April 13, 2000, and the public is harboring high hopes for a new breed of politicians with vision, morality, and competence. | | | The 1997 presidential election is a case in point. | | | The major reasons cited for blocking those politicians from running in the upcoming election were corruption, breaking election laws, and destruction of the democratic and constitutional order. |

| | South Korea's Constitutional Court is widely expected to reject the impeachment, which came after the president was found to have violated an election law, and allow President Roh to return to office. | | | It appears that this election means that for the first time, a reformist, liberal president in South Korea will have the backing of a majority in the National Assembly. | | | South Korea's pro-government Uri Party campaign chief Kim Keun-Tae (R) shakes hands with another of his party's candidates after winning the parliamentary elections in Seoul, South Korea. |

| | The by-elections are an important barometer of public opinion on the two-year-old Roh administration and the Uri party. | | | The by-election results are a serious political blow to President Roh Moo Hyun and his Uri Party, which was weakened in March when it lost a slim parliamentary majority after five Uri legislators were forced to resign for electoral law violations. | | | The Uri Party’s inability to win elections even in President Roh’s hometown (Gongju-Yeongi in South Chungcheong province), which is to host the new government facilities, may demonstrate serious public skepticism. |
