Exit Polls Show Jung Won-oh Leading Seoul Mayoral Race Over Oh Se-hoon

Exit polls for the Seoul mayoral election indicate that Democratic Party candidate Jung Won-oh holds an advantage over his People Power Party rival, Oh Se-hoon. The projections were released shortly after polls closed on June 3.

Jung Won-oh, currently serving his third term as mayor of Seongdong District, is campaigning on a platform that includes significant housing development and improved urban mobility. He has pledged to commence construction on 360,000 housing units by 2031 and create a "30-minute commute city" where residents can reach any part of Seoul within that timeframe.

Oh Se-hoon, who previously served as Seoul mayor and entered national politics in 2000, is making his return to the mayoral race. His campaign has focused on urban development initiatives. Jung's electoral success in Seongdong District, where he has won three consecutive terms, makes him the only mayor among Seoul's 25 districts to achieve this feat in the current era of directly elected mayors.
