South Korean President Roh Moo-Hyun on Tuesday accepted the resignation of his prime minister over a round of golf that sparked allegations of influence-peddling. "President Roh expressed his intention to accept the ruling Uri Party's request" for the resignation of Prime Minister Lee Hae-Chan, said presidential spokesman Kim Man-Soo. "President Roh will not hurry to name the prime minister's successor," he said, adding that Deputy Prime Minister Han Duck-Soo would act as prime minister until then.
