On this afternoon, one day before the main vote of the 9th nationwide local elections, Jeong held a full-force victory rally at Cheonggye Square in Jung-gu, Seoul.

First, Jeong highlighted the role of the mayor in protecting the safety of Seoul citizens. He stated, "Safeguarding lives is the most important and fundamental duty," adding, "Just as I made Seongdong-gu a safe district, I promise to make Seoul the safest city."

Addressing his opponent, Oh Sehoon of the People Power Party, Jeong said, "Candidate Oh should learn from President Lee, not try to hinder him," and added, "I hope he reflects on why the people love and cherish President Lee."

He continued, "If Candidate Oh had simply kept his promises, the current housing and economic crises would not have occurred," asserting, "A candidate who does not keep promises must be replaced." Jeong also said, "I transformed the old industrial area of Seongsu-dong into a world-class hotspot, and nearly doubled the number of businesses in Seongdong compared to 10 years ago, revitalizing the local economy," pledging, "With proven capabilities, I will revive Seoul’s economy."

On this day, even before the official campaign began at 7 p.m., Cheonggye Square was awash in a wave of blue. Supporters in blue clothing, holding blue balloons, filled the plaza. Among them were also people in labor union vests, such as members of the Seoul City Bus Union and Construction Workers’ Union, holding placards with slogans like "A New Era" and "Overwhelming Victory."

As office workers on their way home and citizens out for walks with their children joined the rally, the crowd spilled over to the other side of Cheonggye Square.

Jeong Cheongrae, the leader of the Democratic Party, who came to support the rally, emphasized that this election has three main features: strengthening President Lee’s mandate, achieving the complete liquidation of the rebellion, and electing capable Democratic Party officials for local government. He stated, "With both the president and the Seoul mayor from the Democratic Party, and even the district mayors of Jongno-gu and Jung-gu from our party, wouldn’t we have perfect coordination?" He appealed, "If you want to see President Lee and Candidate Jeong together at the Cabinet meeting, please vote for us."

Lee Inyoung, the standing co-chairman of Jeong’s campaign, along with lawmakers Park Jumin, Kim Hyungnam, Kim Youngbae, and Seo Youngkyo, also attended to lend their support to Jeong.

Citizens who had sent petition messages to Jeong’s mobile phone also took the stage to deliver speeches in support. In addition, novelists, actors, professors, and sports stars appeared on stage to endorse Jeong.

After the rally, Jeong is scheduled to meet citizens at the food alley in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, and at Cheonho Rodeo Street in Gangdong-gu. He will then visit Songpa Public Bus Depot to encourage late-night bus drivers, and is expected to conclude his campaign with brief remarks at Bokjeong Station Transfer Center at around 11:40 p.m., about 10 minutes before the end of the election campaign.
