The Democratic Party of Korea selected former Mayor Heo Tae-jung as its candidate for Daejeon mayor in the June 3 local election.
So Byung-hoon, the Democratic Party of Korea central election commission chair, held a briefing on the 13th and said, "In the runoff between candidates Jang Cheol-min and Heo Tae-jung, Heo was elected." Votes by candidate will not be disclosed.
As a result, the Daejeon mayoral race is set between Heo and incumbent Mayor Lee Jang-woo of the People Power Party. Heo served as Daejeon mayor from 2018 to 2022 but was eliminated after losing to Lee in the last local election. The two will face off again in this local election.
