The People Power Party nomination management committee on the 22nd nominated former committee chair Lee Jung-hyun as the candidate for integrated special mayor of South Jeolla-Gwangju, and former Jeonju-gap party chapter head Yang Jeong-mu as the candidate for Jeonbuk State governor.
Nomination committee Chairperson Park Deok-heum said this accordingly at a briefing at the party headquarters in Yeouido the same day. Ahn Tae-uk, former Gwangju city party chair, who had applied for the South Jeolla-Gwangju integrated mayor nomination, withdrew the application, finalizing a sole nomination for the former chair, and for the North Jeolla governor nomination, only the former chair Yang applied.
With this, the People Power Party has completed all nominations for 13 of the city and provincial governor candidates running in the June 3 local elections, except for three areas—North Chungcheong, Daegu, and Gyeonggi—where primaries are underway.
The People Power Party also, in relation to National Assembly by-elections held alongside the local elections, recommended Kim Min-gyeong as the sole candidate for Asan-eul in South Chungcheong. In addition, Kim Seok-hun was solely recommended for Ansan-gap in Gyeonggi, and Oh Ji-seong was solely recommended for Gunsan–Gimje–Buan-gap in North Jeolla.
In addition, the People Power Party solely recommended Lee Nam-hyeong as the candidate for Gwanak-gu mayor in Seoul and Cha Hwa-yeol as the candidate for Pyeongtaek mayor in Gyeonggi.
