Ulsan Mayor Race: Unity Nears for Democrats and Progressives, Conservatives Split

On May 14, the first day of candidate registration for the June 3 local elections, candidate unification emerged as a key issue in the Ulsan mayoral race. According to the original report, the Democratic and progressive camp was described as being one step away from unifying behind a candidate, while the conservative camp saw unification talks break down and its candidates moved early to register. Even before the same election, each bloc responded differently, leaving the early Ulsan mayoral contest shaped by whether unification succeeds. The main point ahead is whether the Democratic-progressive unification is completed and how the conservative split affects the race. Source: mk.co.kr
