The power of the people has won in 12 places including Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, Incheon, Ulsan, Sejong Market, Gangwon, Chungcheong, South and North Gyeongsang Provinces.



It is a landslide victory, winning nine more places compared to the result of only three, including Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong, who was elected as an independent four years ago.



[Lee Jun-seok / Representative of People's Power: First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the people and our supporters for making a great leap forward in the local elections.]



People's Power is especially strong in Seoul and Incheon, where the Democratic Party won four years ago. I won.



In the mayor of Seoul, Candidate Oh Se-hoon consistently outpaced Candidate Song Young-gil, confirming the election early.



In Incheon, Candidate Jeong-bok Yoo denounced his defeat four years ago in a rematch with Candidate Nam-chun Park.



Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongsangnam-do, where the Democratic Party won its first ever victories in the last election, returned to the power of the people again.



Candidate Hyung-jun Park easily defeated Candidate Seong-wan Byun for Busan mayor, and Candidate Du-gyeom Kim defeated Candidate Cheol-ho Song in Ulsan.



Candidate Park Wan-su also outperformed Yang Moon-seok in the Gyeongnam governor election.



In the Chungcheong area, which has been called the weather vane of the people, the power of the people swept all four places for the first time.



In Daejeon, candidate Lee Jang-woo defeated Candidate Heo Tae-jung in a close battle, and in Sejong, candidate Choi Min-ho defeated current mayor Lee Chun-hee.



In Chungnam, candidate Kim Tae-heum defeated incumbent governor Yang Seung-jo, and in Chungbuk, candidate Kim Young-hwan defeated candidate Noh Young-min.



In Daegu, Gyeongbuk and Gangwon, the People's Power candidate also won splendid victories.



The Democratic Party had to be content with victory in the traditionally strong regions of Gwangju and North Jeolla Province and regaining Jeju.



In the Gyeonggi Governor Election, the biggest battleground, Candidate Dong-yeon Kim, who had a tight contest throughout the counting, succeeded in a comeback at the last minute, beating out Candidate Eun-hye Kim by a narrow margin.
