The Democratic Party of Korea and The Progressive Party on the 23rd began a primary polling survey to choose a single candidate for Ulsan mayor.
The survey will be conducted by a polling firm by phone for two days through the 24th using safe phone numbers. However, the two parties said they would not disclose primary details such as the size of those surveyed or the specific wording of the questions.
The result of whether Democratic Party candidate Kim Sang-uk or The Progressive Party candidate Kim Jong-hun was chosen as the single unified candidate for Ulsan mayor is expected to be announced as early as the night of the 24th.
Earlier, on the 15th, the two parties agreed to unify, based 100% on polling, their candidates in the June 3 local elections for Ulsan mayor; Nam District chief and Ulju County chief; and four electoral districts for metropolitan council seats. The Nam District chief and Ulju County chief candidates were unified as Democratic Party candidates Choi Deok-jong and Kim Si-uk, respectively, after polling on the 19th–20th.
Following this primary to select a single candidate for Ulsan mayor, primaries for metropolitan council candidates will be held on the 24th–25th.
