After visiting the birthplace of former President Park Chung-hee here and making a prayer visit, he emphasized that he would lead Korea into an advanced economic power like former President Park, who laid the foundation for industrialization.
In the guestbook, he wrote, "I will properly learn about President Park's economic and social revolution again."
The reason for this effort in Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province, which is called the "home room" of the conservatives, is that candidate Park Geun-hye received 80.4% of the votes in the 2012 presidential election.
Ahn Cheol-soo, candidate of the People's Party, attended the funeral ceremony for the local election chairman who died in a bus suffocation accident.

It was also interpreted as a will to finish the race if unification fails.
The People's Power plans to focus on the first deadline for unification on Sunday, the day before the legal debate between the three terrestrial broadcasters.
