Former Chief Kim competed in the primary against Bae Cheol-soon, former administrative officer of the Presidential Secretariat's Political Affairs Office.

Kim, who won the primary, will face the unified opposition candidate selected through a primary between Democratic Party's Kim Ji-soo and Progressive Party's Jeong Hye-kyung in the general election.

In the Gimhae-gap electoral district, Kwon Tong-il, former policy advisor to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, former lawmaker Kim Jeong-gwon, and former Gyeongnam Provincial Deputy Governor Park Seong-ho held a primary during the same period, but no candidate received more than 50% of the votes.

The People Power Party's Nomination Committee plans to conduct a runoff vote over two days starting from the 10th to finalize the Gimhae-gap candidate.
