Candidate Nak-Yeon Lee won the first victory in the Gwangju-Jeonnam itinerary for the election of the Democratic Party's presidential candidate. With a 0.17 percentage point difference, he is still far behind candidate Lee Jae-myung in the cumulative votes, but it is said that he has secured a foothold in chasing after winning in the symbolic Honam.

The winner of the Democratic Party's Gwangju and Jeonnam primary was Lee Nak-yeon.



Of the 70,000 voters in the local electoral college made up of members of the Rights Party and delegates, Nak-yeon Lee received 47.12% or 33,848 votes, and candidate Lee Jae-myung, who placed 2nd place, received 46.95%, or 33,726 votes.



With a difference of 122 votes, this is the first time in his political hometown, Honam, that Lee Nak-yeon defeated Lee Jae-myung, who had a majority in a straight line.



Candidate Nak-yeon Lee said that she saw a spark of hope.



[Lee Nak-yeon/Democratic Party Presidential Election Candidate: Based on today's results, we will work harder to create better results.]



Candidate Jae-myung Lee, who had four consecutive victories, praised himself for having done well in Candidate Nak-Yeon Lee's base for the loss.



[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party Presidential Candidate: We predicted that we would be at a very disadvantage, but thank you in advance for your support.] The



cumulative votes in the 1st Super Week and the 5th regional primary were Lee Jae-myung 52.9% and Lee Nak-yeon 34.2%. Candidates still hold a majority.



Candidate Choo Mi-ae came in third with 11%, Park Yong-jin in fourth place with 1.2%, and Kim Doo-gwan in fifth place with 0.7%.
