The main opposition People Power Party (PPP) is failing to capitalize on its advantage over the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) in the Seoul and Busan mayoral by-elections taking place on April 7.
The by-elections in the nation's two largest cities are being held to choose the successors of two former disgraced mayors ― Park Won-soon of Seoul and Oh Keo-don of Busan ― who both belonged to the DPK.
