The People Power Party's nomination committee announced on May 7 that it has recommended Cho Yang-deok as the sole candidate for the mayor of Jeonju.
Park Deok-heum, the head of the committee, stated that Cho possesses extensive experience across academia, media, and the arts, making him a well-suited candidate for the position.
In Gyeongnam, the planned primary for the Uiryeong, Ham-an, and Geochang county mayoral races has been canceled due to disagreements among candidates. The committee will decide on the final candidates through a re-evaluation process.
Regarding the by-elections, one individual has registered in the Jeonbuk Gunsan, Gimje, and Buan regions following an additional application process. The application period for the Siheung mayoral candidate has also been extended, with details on the selection process to be announced later.
The committee plans to revisit the candidacy of Jeong Jin-seok, who had previously announced his intention to run for the Chungnam Gongju, Buyeo, and Cheongyang districts but later withdrew. Park noted, "We will reconsider whether to conduct another application process or finalize the existing candidates, aiming to find a competitive nominee."
