Candidate Chung-rae maintained the top spot with 26.4% of the vote, followed by candidates Ko Min-jung, Seo Young-kyo, Jang Kyung-tae, Park Chan-dae, and Song Gap-seok, Yoon Young-chan, and Ko Young-in.
All four candidates classified as so-called 'Lee Jae-myung-gye' were elected, and as 'non-Lee Jae-myung-gye', candidate Ko Min-jung is the only one.
The proportion of votes reflected by the electoral college that selects the next Democratic Party leadership is 40% for right party members, 30% for delegates, 25% for general public opinion polls, and 5% for general party members polls.
Now, the Democratic Party will finally elect the leadership on the 28th after going through the Seoul and Gyeonggi region primaries with 37% of the right party members this week, delegate voting, and opinion polls.
