Jongno, Seoul, 'Politics No. 1', where the by-election was held due to the resignation of Lee Nak-yeon, former Democratic Party representative.



Choi Jae-hyeong, who served as the first President of the Audit and Inspection Service of the Moon Jae-in government, was elected with 52.09% of the votes.



As a key figure in the current government, he is similar to Yoon Seok-yeol, who was elected as an opposition candidate after friction with the government.



In Seocho-gap, where the only confrontation between the two large parties was held due to the Democratic Party's policy of no nomination for the constituency responsible for the re-election, Cho Eun-hee, former mayor of the ward, was elected with plenty of time.



Conservative leaders have also returned.



People's Strength Candidates Kim Hak-yong and Jung Woo-taek were placed in the 4th and 5th positions respectively in Anseong, Gyeonggi-do and Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province.



Independent candidate Lim Byung-hun was elected in Daegu's Jungnam-gu district and former lawmaker Kwak Sang-do, who resigned on suspicion of 5 billion won in Daejang-dong.



People's Power As Candidate Lim, who ran for office after leaving the party, expressed his intention to re-establish the party, it is evaluated that the people's power virtually wiped out five constituencies.



The number of seats for the People's Power has increased from 106 to 110, and will increase to 111 if Im-elect is reinstated.



Now the focus is on the local elections, which are less than three months away.



If you look at the votes for this election, among the 17 metropolitan groups, 10 regions including Seoul and 7 districts including Gyeonggi Province have the dominant power of the people.



Local governments surpassed the Democratic Party, which had only 99, with 151 areas where the people's power prevailed.



As the event takes place 22 days after the inauguration of President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol, a battle between the people's power that must be won to secure the power of government and the life and death of the Democratic Party cannot be pushed further is expected to be inevitable.
