Overview

• Lee Jae-myung secured 88.69% of the vote in the Jeolla regional primary, marking his third consecutive landslide victory.
• His cumulative share across three primaries now stands at 89.04%, far ahead of challengers Kim Dong-yeon and Kim Kyoung-soo, who hold 6.54% and 4.42% respectively.
• The Jeolla region, a Democratic Party stronghold, accounted for nearly one-third of the party’s eligible voters in this primary stage.
• The final regional primary, covering Greater Seoul, Gangwon, and Jeju, is scheduled for April 27, with Lee highly likely to secure the nomination without requiring a runoff.
• Lee continues to balance his dominant campaign performance with weekly court appearances as a defendant in five ongoing criminal trials.
