President Moon Jae-in on Firday sent a motion to the National Assembly requesting a confirmation hearing for prime minister nominee Chung Sye-kyun, according to Cheong Wa Dae.
Moon submitted the motion at around 3 p.m., it said, citing legislation calling for lawmakers to complete a confirmation hearing on a Cabinet member nominee within 20 days of the delivery of such a document.
Accordingly, political parties need to set a schedule for a confirmation hearing for Chung, who served as National Assembly speaker.
In South Korea, a president's appointment of prime minister requires parliamentary consent.
