Yesterday was a new dawn and a new beginning for the people of South Korea. The country got its first female president. The country having the highest level of gender inequality has chosen the 60 years old Park Geun-hye, daughter of the former dictator of South Korea Park Chung-hee, as its first women prez. The voters of South Korea chose a motherly leadership over her opponent's call for radical change in how country addresses economic inequality and military threats.
Park Geun-hye won 51.64% of the 96% percent votes counted thrashing her critics and winning mileston for a society that is heavily male dominated. Her antagonist and opponent in the elections Moon Jae-in, a former human rights lawyer who was once imprisoned for opposing her father's authoratarian rule, got 47.93% of the votes and deeming Park's lead as insurmountable he conceded defeat in the election.
In an address to her supporters Park said," This is the victory of the people. This is the victory for the people's wish to overcome crises and revive the economy." The election of Park,60, a five-term law maker and candidate of President Lee Myung Bak's governing Saenuri Party is a milestone for a society that is clearly male dominated and where women are not having the full liberty.
When asked why she didn't marry, she quickly answered," I have no children to inherit my properties you people are my family and to make you happy is the reason I do politics"
I heartily congratulate her on her becoming the president of South Korea, hope that she will succeed and emerge out as a good leader.
