[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, maintained his first-place position in the Democratic Party presidential primary for Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam on the 2nd. Despite the Daejang-dong preferential treatment allegations, he achieved a landslide victory in the Jeju primary the previous day and secured a majority win once again. The results of the day are expected to influence the second round of the national electorate voting on the 3rd, which will determine whether the primary race concludes early.
