Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party’s candidate for Seoul mayor and the incumbent, will register as a preliminary candidate on April 27 and begin campaigning in earnest for the June 3 nationwide local elections.
Oh’s camp said on April 23 that he plans to file the registration on April 27.
The earlier-than-expected move, the camp said, reflects his determination to “get into the community and run the ground campaign.”
His campaign office will be set up in the Daewang Building in Gwancheol-dong, Jongno. The camp said Jongno “symbolizes the urgency” of redevelopment in the old city center and that the location is meant to underscore his “original commitment,” balanced urban development and a pledge to revitalize older districts, including Jongno.
Oh, seeking a third consecutive term and a fifth overall, plans to highlight Seoul residents’ health and quality of life, drawing contrasts with Democratic Party candidate Jung Won-oh. He also plans to emphasize youth policy, with young people participating in and leading the campaign.
Oh’s camp said the eighth popularly elected city administration has focused on supporting vulnerable residents and strengthening the city’s competitiveness, and that this election will stress a “special city of better health and a warmer quality of life.” It added that the campaign will be run with a focus on youth policy.
