With the assumption that the rationale behind incumbent mayorsโ€™ decisions to not run again despite the incumbency advantage is their electoral vulnerability, their party affiliations, and the number of terms, this study verifies these three major factors as incumbentsโ€™ strategic retirement. It turns out that incumbents tend not to seek reelection when they have electoral vulnerability, are in the second-term, and are members of the ruling party. The electoral vulnerability is more visible in the incumbents winning with a narrow electoral margin than those winning with lower number of votes. The second-term mayors than the firstterm mayors tend not to run for reelection; mayors from the ruling party show a lower rate of running for reelection. It is, therefore, interpreted that incumbents' retirement is due to the electoral pressure for a political change in case of second-term mayors, and due to the midterm evaluation of the party in power in case of ruling-party mayors
