Lee Jung-hyun reverses resignation, extends registration for Seoul mayor until the 17th... Oh Se-hoon sticks to 'innovation campaign committee formation'

Lee Jung-hyun, chairman of the People Power Party's nomination management committee, reversed his resignation and announced an extension for registering candidates for the Seoul mayoral election until the 17th, amid ongoing nomination struggles within the party.

On the 15th, Lee Jung-hyun, chairman of the nomination management committee of the People Power Party, announced his return to the position just two days after expressing his intention to resign. He stated that he had received full authority over nominations from party leader Jang Dong-hyuk and declared that the deadline for registering candidates for the June 3 local elections for the position of Seoul mayor would be extended until the 17th. Meanwhile, incumbent mayor Oh Se-hoon, who seemingly received an ultimatum regarding his candidacy registration, remains focused on forming an innovative election campaign committee, indicating further challenges for the party as the election date approaches.
