Overview

• The People Power Party (PPP) announced the four candidates advancing to the second round of its presidential primary: Kim Moon-soo, Ahn Cheol-soo, Han Dong-hoon, and Hong Joon-pyo.
• The first-round results were determined solely through public opinion polling conducted by five agencies surveying 4,000 respondents over two days.
• The second round will combine party member votes with public polling, each weighted at 50%, to select two finalists by April 29.
• The final nominee will be confirmed at a party convention on May 3, with the winner facing Democratic Party frontrunner Lee Jae-myung in the June 3 election.
• This election follows the Constitutional Court's unprecedented removal of President Yoon Suk Yeol, with PPP candidates divided over their stance on his impeachment.
