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.Chun Jae-soo leads Polymarket odds as the frontrunner for the 2026 Busan mayoral election following a late October Hankook Research poll showing him ahead of incumbent Park Heong-joon by double digits among People Power Party (PPP) supporters, signaling strong momentum in the party's nomination race. Park, the sitting PPP mayor elected in the 2022 by-election, trails at 24.5% amid concerns over approval ratings tied to local development disputes and economic pressures in Busan, South Korea's second-largest city. Opposition figures like Democratic Party's Suh Byung-soo and Rebuilding Korea's Cho Kuk draw minimal support in early surveys, reflecting PPP's historical dominance in the direct popular vote contest. Traders anticipate PPP primaries in early 2026, with the June election hinging on turnout in this conservative stronghold.
