7 Days Until Local Elections: Jeong Cheongrae Campaigns in Chungnam and Incheon, Han Byungdo Focuses on Honam Voters

"Shouldn't We Show Our Gratitude?" Calls for Votes

At Park Geun-hye's Campaigning: "Brazen and Regressive"

With just one week remaining before the 9th nationwide local elections, on May 27, the leadership of the Democratic Party of Korea is continuing its campaign by visiting regions such as South Chungcheong Province (Chungnam), Incheon, and South Jeolla Province (Jeonnam).

On this day, Jeong Cheong-rae, Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, attended a Central Election Countermeasures Committee meeting held in Nonsan, Chungnam and stated, "For Chungnam, the candidate confidently prepared by the Democratic Party is Park Soo-hyun for Governor of Chungnam. Park is the most diligent, competent, and passionate about Chungnam." He added, "Out of gratitude, and for the sake of your hometown, wouldn't you want to return the favor? We will surely repay your support in a big way," appealing to voters to cast their ballots for Democratic Party candidates, including Oh In-hwan for Nonsan Mayor, Jeong Jun-young for Gyeryong Mayor, and Moon Jeong-woo for Geumsan County Governor.

Targeting former President Park Geun-hye, who has joined campaign efforts in support of People Power Party candidates, Jeong criticized, "Even now, the president who was impeached by the Candlelight Revolution is shamelessly traveling around." He further remarked, "Because the People Power Party is deploying someone who lost the presidency due to impeachment for their campaign, they are being labeled as a party that condones rebellion and supports Yoon again. I hope the people will deliver a stern judgment against this shameless and regressive attempt to turn back history."

After moving on to Gongju in Chungnam, Jeong held a campaign rally supporting Kim Young-bin, candidate for National Assembly for Gongju, Buyeo, and Cheongyang in Chungnam, and Kim Jeong-seop, candidate for Gongju Mayor. In the afternoon, he will proceed to Incheon to support the campaigns of Park Chan-dae for Incheon Mayor, Han Yeon-hee for Ganghwa County Governor, Son Hwa-jung for Yeongjong District Head, and Koo Jae-yong for Seo District Head.

On the same day, Han Byung-do, Floor Leader of the Democratic Party, is tending to public sentiment in the Honam region. In the morning, he held a joint campaign event with Son Hun-mo, candidate for Suncheon Mayor, and in the afternoon, he will support Jung In-hwa for Gwangyang Mayor and Seo Young-hak for Yeosu Mayor.
