Two local governments are in the city, the Daegu Metropolitan Government in [[Jung District, Daegu|Jung District]] and Gyeongbuk Provincial Government in [[Buk District, Daegu|Buk District]]. The provincial government will be relocated to [[Andong]] in its proper province, Gyeongbuk. As a result, the provincial government office was relocated to Andong in January 2023. The mayor and heads of the city's eight districts are directly elected by the citizens every four years. The city council has 29 members which consist of 26 from the same number of electoral districts and three proportional representations. They are also directly elected every four years. Most of them are the members of the [[People Power Party (South Korea)|People Power Party]], the main [[Conservatism|conservative]] political party in South Korea. Daegu is a stronghold for the party and has produced four Presidents of the Republic of Korea thus far: [[Park Chung Hee]], [[Chun Doo-hwan]], [[Roh Tae-woo]] and [[Park Geun-hye]]. [[Park Chung Hee]] and [[Chun Doo-hwan]] were born in other cities but they moved to Daegu and spent childhood in Daegu. As the capital of the Korean conservatives, the city has wielded strong political influence in [[Elections in South Korea|elections]].{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}}
