[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Democratic Party of Korea has confirmed its leading candidates for the April 15 general election in Gwangju by giving Song Gap-seok a sole nomination for the Seo-gu (Gap) district in Gwangju.

However, some preliminary candidates who lost in certain district primaries have filed appeals, so it will be necessary to monitor the results going forward.
