Ulsan's electoral history firmly anchors to conservative power. The PPP nominee, especially an incumbent like Kim Doo-kyum who secured nearly 60% of the 2022 mayoral vote share, holds a formidable structural advantage.

Sentiment: Local media narratives echo his strong approval. 95% YES — invalid if PPP loses national legislative majority by >20 seats.
