The Democratic Party of Korea's June 3 local election primary for Gyeonggi governor has been narrowed to three: lawmakers Han Jun-ho and Choo Mi-ae, and Gyeonggi Governor Kim Dong-yeon. Lawmaker Kwon Chil-seung and former lawmaker Yang Gi-dae did not make the final round.

So Byung-hoon, the Democratic Party of Korea's Central Election Management Committee chair, on the 22nd stated accordingly at the central party headquarters in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, announcing the results of a preliminary primary that included five preliminary candidates.

The main primary to select the final candidate will be held Aug. 5–7. If no one wins a majority, a runoff between the top two will be held Aug. 15–17. The main primary vote will reflect 50% from dues-paying party members and 50% from a general public opinion poll.
