Former S. Korean President Yoon leaves his party, which trails in polls ahead of snap election.

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has left the conservative People Power Party (PPP) ahead of the June 3 snap election, where the PPP's candidate, Kim Moon-soo, is trailing behind Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung. A recent poll showed 51% supporting Lee, compared to 29% for Kim. The reasons for Yoon's departure were not specified, but it could be linked to the PPP's poor poll performance.
