Incumbent Seongbuk-gu Mayor and Democratic Party candidate Lee Seung-ro was confirmed re-elected after the results of the 8th nationwide simultaneous local elections showed he led Jeong Tae-geun of the People Power Party by 0.53 percentage points.

Leading Seongbuk-gu under the motto “Finding answers on the ground for Seongbuk’s future” during the 7th term, Mayor Lee emphasized the importance of fieldwork in his victory speech, stating, “I will build the 8th term Seongbuk-gu centered on the field and the livelihood of the people.”

Mayor Lee plans to implement life-centered policies such as establishing a lifecycle-tailored women’s employment support hub, which was part of his original campaign promises. He also intends to accelerate projects like revitalizing the youth startup street, which were initiated during the 7th term and will continue into the 8th term.
