Regarding the inclusion of the abolition of government ministries in the mayor’s policy, Oh Myung-jin, head of the National Revolutionary Party, said, “This is to show an example that President Heo can challenge the mayor of Seoul and pay the national dividend before the presidential election next year.” Explained.

Heo entered the election by registering as a candidate for the 13th presidential election in 1987. After that, he ran for the 1991 local election and the 15th presidential election in 1996. After running for the 17th presidential election in 2007, he was convicted of spreading the false facts that he decided to marry Park Geun-hye, then the GNP representative, and was sentenced to jail.
