The People Power Party’s Gyeongnam Provincial Candidate Nomination Committee finalized its candidates for Jinju mayor and Hadong county governor on April 21.

The committee confirmed Han Kyungho, former Director-General of Social Budget at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, as the mayoral candidate for Jinju, and Kim Hyunsu, former Special Advisor for External Cooperation to the Gyeongnam Governor, as the candidate for Hadong county governor.

Additionally, the committee announced that the main primary for selecting candidates for Geochang county governor and Hapcheon county governor will be held from April 25 to 26.

In the Geochang county governor primary, incumbent Governor Koo Inmo will face provincial assembly member Kim Ilsu.

For the Hapcheon county governor primary, the race will feature former provincial assembly member Ryu Sooncheol, former Hapcheon Police Chief Lee Jaewook, and People Power Party deputy spokesperson Lee Jonghak.

The results of the main primary will be determined by a 50% weighting for the electoral college and 50% for the general public. Electoral college voting will be conducted through electronic voting (Kevoting) and automated response system (ARS), while the general public portion will be based on ARS polling conducted by two public opinion research agencies.
