Seoul mayor not apply for PPP's candidacy for June local elections

SEOUL, March 8 (Yonhap) -- Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon on Sunday did not apply for the main opposition People Power Party (PPP)'s candidacy for the June local elections by the deadline, according to his aides.

Oh did not register as a PPP candidate for the Seoul mayorship in the June 3 local elections by the deadline set for 6 p.m. Sunday, as he thinks the party should prioritize severing ties with former President Yoon Suk Yeol ahead of the polls, according to his aides.

Oh has been calling for the party's leadership to shift the party's line to distance itself from Yoon who is now in jail over his failed martial law in December 2024.
