[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters reporters Yoon Yoseop and Kim Jonghyo] The Busan City Party of the Democratic Party of Korea announced on the 6th that it has entered full-scale election mode, including verifying the qualifications of candidates for the by-elections and re-elections held alongside the April 15 general election.

The Busan City Party of the Democratic Party of Korea recently held an executive committee meeting to complete the formation of the April 15 by-election Public Office Candidate Recommendation Management Committee and began the candidate qualification verification process.

On April 15, a by-election will be held in Busan alongside the general election to elect a new mayor of Jung-gu and a city council member for Nam-gu's 2nd electoral district.

The mayor of Jung-gu, a basic local government head, will have candidate registration and nomination screening conducted by the central party, while the Busan City Party of the Democratic Party of Korea will be responsible for verifying and nominating candidates for the Nam-gu metropolitan council member.

Those wishing to run for election must pass the candidate qualification verification by the Public Office Candidate Recommendation Management Committee of the Busan City Party of the Democratic Party of Korea.

According to Article 10 of the Party Regulations on Public Office Candidate Recommendation and the Elected Public Official Evaluation Committee, those deemed qualified will be granted the right to register as preliminary candidates with the relevant election commission.

If a candidate registers as a preliminary candidate with the election commission without undergoing verification, they may face disqualification or other disadvantages in nomination.

Detailed information regarding candidate qualification verification and candidate registration can be found on the Busan City Party of the Democratic Party of Korea's website.
