In the April 10 general elections, the People Power Party won in 7 of the 10 Nakdong River Belts, the biggest battlegrounds in Busan and Gyeongnam (PK). The Democratic Party of Korea secured three seats. In the 21st general election, which had a total of 9 seats, the Democratic Party secured 5 seats and the People Power Party secured 4 seats. The Nakdong River Belt consists of 10 constituencies along the Nakdong River, including Busan’s North, Gangseo, Sasang, Saha, and Gimhae and Yangsan in South Gyeongsang Province. The People Power Party has been aiming to reclaim all seats in the Nakdong River Belt by reassigning three senior candidates, including 5th-term candidate Seo Byeong-soo (Bukgap, Busan), 3rd-term candidate Kim Tae-ho (Yangsan-eul, Gyeongnam), and 3rd-term candidate Jo Hae-jin (Gimhae-eul, Gyeongnam).

● Busan Nakdong River Belt 與 7, 野 3

The Nakdong River Belt was previously classified as a conservative field, but the Democratic Party-affiliated party won three seats in the 17th general election in 2004, followed by the 18th (2 people), 19th (3 people), 20th (5 people), and 21st (5 people) general elections. The territory has been expanded. In the 22nd general election, the ruling and opposition parties engaged in an all-out fight as the Nakdong River Belt, which had a total of 9 seats, increased to 10 seats.

As of 5:30 a.m. on the 11th, the election of People Power Party candidate Kim Do-eup (Busan Gangseo) and Kim Dae-sik (Busan Sasang) was confirmed among the six constituencies in the Nakdong River Belt in Busan. Candidate Cho Kyung-tae (Busan Saha-eul) was also elected. A ruling party official said, “We succeeded in defending three of the People Power Party’s active constituencies,” and interpreted, “The trend that shifted to a close lead around the early voting in the Nakdong River Belt led to the main vote.” A key official of the People Power Party election committee said, “I think the conservative base rallied at the end of the election,” and added, “The strategy of deploying competitive candidates was effective.”

In Bukgap, Busan, where the 5th People Power Party candidate Seo Byeong-soo was relocated after leaving the constituency, Democratic Party candidate Jeon Jae-soo defeated Seo. Initially, the People Power Party tried to retake the Democratic Party’s district by reassigning Candidate Seo, a former mayor of Busan, but failed. In the newly established Buk-eul district of Busan, People Power Party candidate Park Seong-hoon beat Democratic Party candidate Chung Myung-hee by 4,387 votes. In Buk-gap and Eul, supporters of the ruling and opposition parties gathered together, and the voter turnout in Buk-gu was 71.1%, the highest in Busan.

● The ruling and opposition parties are tense in the Nakdong River Belt in Gyeongnam

Among the four regions in the Nakdong River Belt in Gyeongnam, the People Power Party and the Democratic Party each shared two regions.

In Yangsan Gap, incumbent People Power Party candidate Yoon Young-seok was elected against Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-young in a rematch after four years. In Yangsan-eul, Gyeongsangnam-do, which attracted attention due to the confrontation between former governors of South Gyeongsang Province, People Power Party candidate Kim Tae-ho was elected, and in Gimhae-eul, Gyeongsangnam-do, incumbent Democratic Party candidate Kim Jeong-ho won the seat. In Kim Hae-gap, Democratic Party incumbent candidate Min Hong-cheol extended his term by four years.

The Nakdong River Belt was previously classified as a conservative stronghold, but the Democratic Party-affiliated party has steadily increased its seats. Both the ruling and opposition parties have been trying to recapture Bongha Village (Gimhae), where former President Roh Moo-hyun’s private residence is located, and Pyeongsan Village (Yangsan), where former President Moon Jae-in’s private residence is located.

In Ulsan, where a total of 6 seats were at stake, the People Power Party took 4 seats, 1 less than the 21st party. Candidate Kim Ki-hyun (Ulsan Nam), who resigned as leader in December last year due to sacrifice of the party leadership, was confirmed to be elected, and candidates Park Seong-min (Ulsan Middle School), Kim Sang-wook (Ulsan Namgap), and Seo Beom-soo (Ulsan Ulju) also took first place. In Ulsan-dong, Democratic Party candidate Kim Tae-seon was confirmed to be elected, and in Ulsan North, Progressive Party candidate Yoon Jong-oh was confirmed to be elected.
