Overview
- The People Power Party, which named Oh as its Seoul candidate on Saturday, set up a June 3 face-off with Democratic nominee Chong Won-o as the incumbent seeks a third straight term and fifth overall.
- Oh prevailed in a three-way primary over Rep. Park Soo-min and former lawmaker Yun Hee-suk, a result announced by nomination chief Park Duk-hyum at party headquarters in Yeouido.
- After the announcement, Oh called the local vote the final battleground for restoring the rule of law and said a new term would be a mandate to rebuild his party.
- He also laid out a five-point vision for the capital focused on shared growth and more affordable home ownership for residents.
- His bid follows an unusual career arc that includes a 2006 mayoral win, a 2011 resignation after a school-meals referendum, a 2021 by-election return, and a 2022 re-election.
