...winner in last week's voting was Kim Dae Jung, 62, whose Party for Peace and Democracy captured 70 seats, a gain of 48, to become the second largest voting bloc. That showing marked a stunning turnabout in Kim's political fortunes. Because he refused to give up his presidential candidacy and rally support for the more promising Kim Young Sam, the country's other major opposition leader, Kim Dae Jung bore most of the blame for dividing the opposition vote last December, a blot that prompted his resignation as party leader two months ago. Now Kim not only will...
Faring less well was Kim Young Sam, 60, whose Reunification Democratic Party added only seven seats to its existing 52. There was speculation that Kim Dae Jung would try to push aside Kim Young Sam and head the two opposition parties, though so far he has merely said he will seek "common ground" with other opposition parties.

Last week Kim resigned as party chief to smooth the way for the P.P.D. to rejoin forces with the Reunification Democratic Party. That party's leader, Kim Young Sam, 60, stepped down in a similar gesture last month. With elections for the 299-seat National Assembly scheduled for April 26, the P.P.D. chief said...
...Jung's hand was forced when the R.D.P. planned a partial merger with two small parties, threatening to leave the P.P.D. in the political wilderness. Will the P.P.D. and the R.D.P. find it easier to cooperate now that the strong-willed Kims are gone? Probably not: already there is haggling over who should lead a reunified opposition...
