The Democratic Party of Korea said on the 16th that it selected Cho Sang-ho as its candidate for Sejong Special Self-Governing City mayor.
During the tenure of former Democratic Party leader Lee Hae-chan, candidate Cho served as secretary for political coordination, and later under former Sejong Mayor Lee Chun-hee, he served as chief of staff, policy adviser, vice mayor for political affairs, and vice mayor for economic affairs.
In the 8th local elections in 2022, candidate Cho faced former Mayor Lee Chun-hee in the party primary but lost after a runoff vote. Meeting again in the party primary after four years, this time Cho defeated the former mayor and secured the nomination.
