There were no surprises in Seoul.

“I feel a heavy sense of responsibility. Over the past decade, I have had to watch a lot of sectors that have declined or stagnated in each sector over the past decade.”
Candidate Oh, who voluntarily resigned from the mayor position after taking responsibility for the failure of the referendum for free school meals in 2011,
After winning the third term in last year’s by-election, he took the victory by putting forth a prepared market theory.
Changes are also likely to occur in the administration of Candidate Oh, who has been subject to intensive checks and checks by the city council, which had been dominated by the Democratic Party for the past year.
As of 5 a.m. today, the power of the people accounted for about two-thirds of the members of the Seoul City Council.
As the current trend, if the power of the people secures a majority of the city council seats, it is expected to gain momentum in promoting policies such as shortening the period of redevelopment and reconstruction projects that Candidate Oh promised and providing reliable income for the underprivileged.
The situation of the mayor, where the Democratic Party had won in 24 places except Seocho-gu four years ago, was also overturned.
The people’s power is dominant in the 4 districts of Gangnam, including Seocho, Gangnam, and Songpa, and in 17 places including Dobong, which was called the Democratic Party’s garden.
There are eight places where Democrats have the upper hand.
Incheon, which had been classified as a battlefield, confirmed the victory as the People’s Power candidate Yoo Jeong-bok took the lead throughout the counting.
