South Korea's ruling conservatives have chosen Park Geun-hye as their candidate for December's presidential polls, putting her on track to become the country's first woman leader.
Ms Park, the daughter of Park Chung-hee, who ruled the country from 1961 to 1979, won her New Frontier Party's presidential primary. She beat four male candidates by winning 84% of the vote in the race to succeed fellow conservative Lee Myung-bak, whose mandatory single term ends in February.
