In addition, as a result of the Democratic Party's questioning whether or not the party members were nominated for the by-election of the Seoul and Busan mayors, 86.64% of the party members who participated in the vote said they agreed.
Accordingly, the Democratic Party decided to make a nomination in the Seoul-Busan mayoral by-election in April next year after revising the party constitution.
Lee Nak-yeon, the Democratic Party's representative, said he thanked the party members for understanding the inevitable decision, and said he apologized to the citizens of Seoul and Busan and repeatedly apologized to the victims.
