Kim Min-seok says ready for Seoul mayoral re-election

Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party, said on Friday that he is "preparing his mind" for a possible Seoul mayoral re-election, according to Chosun Ilbo. His remarks come as the Seoul High Court is set to rule on Mayor Oh Se-hoon's political funds trial, where a guilty verdict could trigger a by-election in April next year. Kim made the comments on 'Democratic Party TV' when asked about the expected outcome of Oh's appeal.
