Woo Sangho, the former Senior Presidential Secretary for Political Affairs, and Kim Byungwook, the former Presidential Secretary for Political Affairs, who made up the first political affairs team, will each run for the positions of Governor of Gangwon Province and Mayor of Seongnam in the upcoming June 3 local elections.

Meanwhile, when Secretary Jeong steps down from his proportional representative seat, Kim Junhwan, former Deputy Director of the National Intelligence Service, who is next in line, will assume the position of proportional representative lawmaker.
