[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Preliminary candidate Seo Sam-seok secured the nomination by outpacing preliminary candidate Baek Jae-wook, who had been competing in the Democratic Party primary for Muan·Yeongam·Sinan in the April 15 general election.


The Democratic Party Nomination Management Committee (hereafter Nomination Committee) announced the results of the fourth round of primaries in 13 districts on the 3rd, confirming the nominees.


The Democratic Party Nomination Committee held the fourth round of primaries from the 1st to the 3rd using an automatic response system (ARS) method with 50% party members' votes and 50% public opinion polls. On this day, it announced that preliminary candidate Seo Sam-seok was confirmed as the nominee for Muan·Yeongam·Sinan in Jeollanam-do.



Thus, candidate Seo Sam-seok is expected to face a four-way race in the general election against former lawmaker Lee Yoon-seok of the tentatively named Minsheng Party, former Jeollanam-do council member Lim Heung-bin, and independent Kim Pal-bong, former Ministry of Employment and Labor secretary.
