Presidential elections were held in South Korea on 3 May 1967. The result was a victory for Park Chung Hee, who received 51% of the vote. Voter turnout was 84%.

Nominations

Military

The Democratic Republican Party National Convention was held on 2 February and President Park Chung Hee was nominated as its presidential candidate without a vote.

Civilian

In May 1965 the two largest opposition parties in the parliament, former president Yun Posun's Civil Rule Party (CRP) and stateswoman Park Soon-cheon's Democratic Party (DP), joined to create the People's Party (PP), forming a united opposition against President Park Chung Hee's military dictatorship.

However, in 1965 the radical wing of the People's Party led by Yun left the party, later forming the New Korea Party (NKP) in 1966. The NKP and nominated Yun for president. The remaining members of the People's Party, the moderates led by Park Sang-cheon, nominated former president of Korea University Yu Jin-oh.

Fearing that running two candidates to represent the civilian field might result in Park winning easily, the two parties decided to join forces and created the New Democratic Party (NDP) on 7 February, agreeing to nominate Yun as its candidate.
