Oh Se-hoon’s Narrow Re-Election Sets Up a High-Constraint Fifth Term in Seoul
Oh Se-hoon won a fifth, nonconsecutive term as Seoul mayor by a narrow margin, with the source attributing the result to continuity-seeking voters and his positioning as a moderate conservative distinct from party leadership. His agenda faces significant constraints from a DP supermajority on the Seoul Council, operational controversy around the Hangang Bus project, heritage-related redevelopment disputes, and ongoing legal uncertainty.
