Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung has been confirmed as the Democratic presidential nominee. Candidate Lee lost to Candidate Nak-Yeon Lee in the 3rd Super Week, but the cumulative votes exceeded half and the match ended without a runoff vote. Candidate Lee said in a speech after the nomination was confirmed, “I will eradicate the corruption of civil and political forces.”

The ruling Democratic Party’s choice was Lee Jae-myung.
Candidate Jae-myung Lee won the Seoul primary with a majority of 51.5% of the vote, but in the final ‘Superweek’, the 3rd National Electoral College, where more than 248,000 people voted, only 28.3%, lagging behind candidate Lee Nak-yeon with 62.4%.
However, with a cumulative voter turnout of 50.29%, Lee Nak-yeon, who ranked second with 39.14%, went straight to the presidential election without a runoff vote.
Candidate Jae-myung Lee declared in his acceptance speech that “this election is the ultimatum against the corrupt establishment.”

In particular, he declared that he would surely accomplish the changes and reforms demanded by the people.
Candidate Lee, who has revealed his intentions to break through the ‘Daejang-dong development suspicion’, made this promise in an interview with SBS 8 News shortly after his nomination for the presidential nomination about Yoo Dong-gyu, former head of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, being implicated in the Daejang-dong allegation.
[이재명/민주당 대선 후보 : 인사권자 입장에서 유감의 말씀을 드립니다. 앞으로는 좀 더 개선의 계기로 삼겠다는 말씀드리고요. 앞으로는 이런 거 아예 원천적으로 불가능하게, 개발이익 민간이 못 갖게 공공환수 하도록 제도를 만들어서 (봉쇄하겠습니다.)]
It is analyzed that there are problems to be solved in front of this candidate.
As a candidate of the ruling party, you need to maximize your competitiveness in the finals against opposition candidates, and at the same time establish a strategy for attacking the middle class, including responding to suspicions of large-scale movement.
While it is known that candidate Lee is highly likely to step down from the post of governor before and after the National Assembly audit of Gyeonggi-do, candidate Lee visited the Daejeon National Cemetery today (11th) and found the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) in charge of the prevention and control of COVID-19.
