In Gyeonggi Province, all but one of the incumbent local government heads have announced their intention to run in the upcoming June 3 local elections, with the ruling Democratic Party's Jeong Jang-seon from Pyeongtaek the only exception. The incumbents are leveraging their administrative experience and recognition among residents to maintain their posts. However, there is a prevailing speculation that, similar to the 2018 and 2022 elections where only five out of 31 incumbents retained their positions, this election might also witness a significant turnover of current officials.

In the 2022 local elections, the People Power Party experienced considerable success following the election of President Yoon Seok-youl, winning 22 out of 31 local government offices in Gyeonggi Province. This was a notable contrast to the 2018 elections, where they only won two offices against the Democratic Party. The current political climate suggests that the People Power Party's local popularity has declined significantly, possibly leading to a large-scale defeat of incumbents this time around. As a result, many current officials from the People Power Party have been strategically chosen for candidacy, with the party opting for early nominations, a sign of the challenges they face.

Despite their incumbency advantage, the ruling party officials are struggling with low public recognition, especially in areas like Uiwang, Guri, and Gwacheon, where incumbents are often first-time candidates. Additionally, the upcoming gubernatorial race has seen more seasoned politicians declining to run, leaving the People Power Party with a weakened position in these elections. The upcoming voting situation appears to present a mixed bag for these incumbents as they confront uncertain electoral prospects.
