Influential politicians who left Korea's two major political parties announce new parties. Could this have an impact on the general election.

In South Korea, a general election is scheduled to be held once every four years on April 10th. The name of the new party will be the same name as the ``Reform New Party,'' which was formed in January. The party will run candidates in single-member constituencies who will significantly disrupt the monopoly of the two major parties, says one of the members.
