SEOUL - The South Korean politician likely to emerge as the next president promised justice and common sense on Sunday as workers renovated the home of ousted leader Park Geun-hye to prepare for her departure from the presidential Blue House. The Constitutional Court ruled on Friday to uphold a parliamentary vote to impeach Park, dismissing her from office over an influence-peddling scandal that has shaken the country's political and business elite. A snap presidential election will be held by May 9. Leading in opinion polls to succeed Park is liberal politician Moon Jae-in, who advocates reconciliation with North Korea. 'We still have a long way to go. We have to make this a country of justice, of common sense through regime change,' Moon told a news conference on Sunday. 'We all have to work together for a complete victory.' Park, 65, is South Korea's first democratically elected leader to be forced from office.
