Candidate Lee Jae-myung also won landslides in Sejong, the second district of the Democratic Party's presidential circuit, and in North Chungcheong Province.

[Lee Sang-min/Democratic Party Election Commissioner: No. 1 symbol Lee Jae-myung 54.54%.] It



was a landslide victory in the majority of votes for two days in a row.



Candidate Jae-myung Lee greatly defeated Candidate Nak-yeon Lee, who was second in the Sejong and North Chungcheong races after Daejeon and Chungnam, where they were the first to compete.



Among the votes of the local electoral college, which consisted of members of the Rights Party and representatives, 54.5% of the votes, or 7,000 votes, were obtained.



Candidate Jae-myung Lee praised himself, saying, "The approval rating was higher than I expected."



[Lee Jae-myung/Democratic presidential primary candidate: I will do my best to meet your expectations because there will be things you expect from me (from the people and party members) rather than depending on the vote rate or approval rating



.



Candidate Nak-yeon Lee showed a sign of regret.



[Lee Nak-yeon / Democratic Party Presidential Candidate: We humbly accept the wishes of the residents of the Chungcheong area, the Rights Party and the delegates. I will do my best for the rest of the schedule.]



The cumulative votes in the two primary elections are 54.7% Lee Jae-myung and 28.2% Lee Nak-yeon.



Candidate Choo Mi-ae finished third in the primary, but fell behind candidate Chung Sye-kyun in cumulative terms.



Candidates Park Yong-jin and Kim Doo-kwan recorded 2.4% and 0.9%, respectively.



Democratic candidates will hold primary elections in Daegu and Gyeongbuk on the 11th and Gangwon on the 12th.



The results of 'Gangwon Super Week' are expected to determine whether candidate Lee Jae-myung solidifies the trend or Lee Nak-yeon's full-fledged pursuit.
