The 2026 Busan mayoral election is scheduled to take place on June 3, 2026 to elect the next mayor of Busan. This market will resolve according to the listed candidate that wins this election. If the result of this election isn't known by January 31, 2027, 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.Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors Democratic Party lawmaker Chun Jae-soo at 71.5% implied probability to win the June 2026 Busan mayoral election, reflecting his consistent lead in recent polls over incumbent People Power Party Mayor Park Heong-joon, who trails at 21.5%. A Research and Research poll released April 1 showed Chun ahead 43.7% to Park's 27.1% in a head-to-head matchup, widening from February surveys amid a national environment challenging the ruling party. Chun's official candidacy declaration today, pledging Busan revival as a maritime capital, bolsters his frontrunner status despite prior Unification Church scrutiny. Park seeks a third term but faces party nomination tensions and stalled special bills, with primaries ahead determining final candidates. Other contenders remain marginal due to negligible polling support.
