The Democratic Party of Korea and The Progressive Party decided to back Democratic Party of Korea candidate Kim Sang-uk as the sole unified candidate for Ulsan mayor in the June 3 local elections. The Ulsan mayoral race will be a three-way contest among Kim Sang-uk, People Power Party candidate Kim Doo-kyum, and independent candidate Park Maeng-woo.
The Democratic Party of Korea and The Progressive Party announced the results of the rerun primary for a single Ulsan mayoral candidate on the afternoon of the 28th in front of the Ulsan Metropolitan City Election Commission. The two parties held the rerun primary for a unified candidate between Democratic Party of Korea candidate Kim Sang-uk and The Progressive Party candidate Kim Jong-hun from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day.
Earlier, Kim Sang-uk said on the 26th that the single-candidate opinion poll conducted on the 23rd to 24th lacked a "reverse selection prevention clause," and declared the suspension of the survey. After the two candidates clashed during the unification process, Kim Jong-hun on the previous day abruptly accepted a rerun primary.
Kim Jong-hun, who was eliminated in the rerun primary, immediately withdrew from the race that day.
