An unusual outcome emerged from the June 3 local elections in South Gyeongsang Province, where two candidates for a Goseong-gun council seat finished with identical vote totals — and the older of the two was declared the winner.

Independent candidate Lee Woo-young was among eight contenders — two from the Democratic Party of Korea, two from the People Power Party and four independents — vying for three seats in the Goseong-eup constituency of Goseong-gun.

When vote counting concluded Thursday, Democratic Party candidate Kim Won-sun and People Power Party candidate Kim Seok-han took first and second place with 2,539 and 2,423 votes, respectively, out of 13,534 valid ballots cast. People Power Party candidate Kim Hyang-suk and independent Lee Woo-young both finished with exactly 2,077 votes, tying for third.

The Goseong-gun Election Commission declared Lee, born April 1, 1959, the winner at 67, passing over Kim Hyang-suk, born May 16, 1961, who is 65.

Article 190 of the Public Official Election Act, which governs the determination and announcement of winners in local constituency races, states that when two or more candidates receive the highest number of votes, the winner shall be decided by age, with the older candidate prevailing.

Lee graduated from Jinju Agricultural and Forestry College — now Gyeongsang National University — with a degree in animal husbandry and spent 35 years at Nonghyup, including a stint as branch manager of the Hail branch of Saegoseong Nonghyup. He had run as an independent in four local council elections since 2018 without success, making this his first win.
