SEOUL, June 4 (Yonhap) -- Cho Kuk, leader of the minor Rebuilding Korea Party, said Thursday he would step down as party leader after suffering defeat in a parliamentary by-election held alongside the June 3 local elections.

"I failed to open a new path of hope for our party members who devoted themselves in the name of the Rebuilding Korea Party for this election," he said in a Facebook post, adding that he takes full responsibility for the outcome.

In the parliamentary by-elections in the closely watched race of the Pyeongtaek-B constituency in Gyeonggi Province, Cho came in third behind Yu Eui-dong of the main opposition People Power Party and Kim Yong-nam of the ruling Democratic Party.

Cho's party failed to win any of the 16 key mayoral and gubernatorial seats, and the 14 parliamentary seats contested in the local elections.

Foreign media analyze Democratic Party's victory in local elections, citing President Lee's popularity

Foreign media attributed the Democratic Party's victory in South Korea's local elections to President Lee Jae-myung's high approval ratings, driven by economic factors like AI chip exports and stock market gains. However, the loss of the Seoul mayoral race to the opposition was seen as a setback, reflecting voter desire for checks and balances and concerns over real estate policy.
