The South Korean presidential election of 1978 took place on 6 July 1978 and was the second election held under the framework of the Yushin Constitution. Park Chung-hee was elected, as in 1972, without opposition. Elections to the National Council for Reunification, the electoral college specified by the constitution, took place on 18 May, and Park Chung-hee was subsequently elected with the support of 2,578 members out of 2,581. One vote was declared invalid, the two remaining delegates were not present.[1] Park Chung Hee would continue in office for just over a year before his assassination on 26 October 1979 and the subsequent collapse of the Yushin system.
