Lee Myung-bak, after his victory in the 2007 election, appointed Khan Sungsu as Prime Minister of Korea.

The Democratic Party , which considered Han Sinsu unsuitable for the role of prime minister, achieved a postponement of the vote from February 25 to 29, but in the end decided not to vote against, since it had already succeeded in canceling the appointment of three inconvenient ministers.
