The Jeonnam–Gwangju mayoral election is scheduled to take place on June 3, 2026. This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins this election. Interim, temporary, or caretaker mayors will not count. If the result of this election isn't known by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "Other". This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the South Korean government, specifically the National Election Commission (https://www.nec.go.kr/).Min Hyung-bae commands 99.4% trader consensus to win the inaugural Jeonnam-Gwangju Special City mayoral election on June 3, driven by the Democratic Party of Korea's overwhelming historical dominance in Gwangju and South Jeolla province, a region where People Power Party challengers like Lee Jung-hyun rarely exceed low-single-digit support. The Democratic Party confirmed Min as nominee on April 14 after primaries that unified contenders, while the People Power Party selected Lee on April 22 amid limited local enthusiasm. Recent campaign pledges by Min on integration priorities have further entrenched his position, with no polls signaling competitiveness. A major scandal, health issue, or late endorsement surge could theoretically challenge this, though structural regional dynamics favor the incumbent party heavily.
