Ban Ki-Moon Rules out run for South Korea Presidency
Former UN chief Ban Ki-moon, once considered to be a prospective presidential candidate in his home country South Korea, has ruled out a run for the job, saying he was "disappointed at the selfish ways" of some politicians.
Ban told reporters on Wednesday at parliament, after meeting conservative party leaders, that he had been subject to "malign slander akin to character assassination" in the media and had given up his "patriotic" plan to lead political change.
