[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Oh Se-hoon, a preliminary candidate running in the People Power Party's Seoul mayoral primary, expressed support on the 4th for the ruling party's proposal to relocate the National Assembly to Sejong.

On the same day, Oh appeared on KBS's Sasageon-geon and, when asked whether his positive stance on the National Assembly relocation plan remained unchanged, he replied, "That is my position. Moving just one National Assembly would only involve a few hundred accompanying staff."

Oh stated, "Seoul should play the role of the 'eldest brother' among local governments nationwide," adding, "Although citizens may not welcome anything leaving Seoul, even this method would help with balanced national development."

However, he added that if elected mayor, he would go through procedures to gather citizens' opinions in various forms, including expert panels.
