People's Power Lee Jun-seok, the permanent election chairman, planted conservative gardens in Busan and Changwon, Gyeongnam yesterday.
He said he would repay the favor he received during the presidential election, and he appealed to him to elect a ruling party candidate to keep his local promises.

: In order to repay the favor, will you help all local legislators in this position to serve the citizens of Changwon, everyone!]
He accused Lee Jae-myung, the general election chairman, and others of being stunned, saying that he was trying to hold a local election with a presidential trophy at the fore.
In the Democratic Party, Chairman Lee Jae-myung campaigned for support by visiting rough areas such as Gimhae and Busan in Gyeongnam.
With the recent drop in approval ratings, the Democratic Party as a whole is having a hard time and it seems that he is no exception.

He then asked for the Democratic Party to be elected to prevent the government's ruling party from pursuing privatization, saying that if public corporations are privatized, the people will suffer from the burden of fees.
The Justice Party leadership visited Daegu and appealed for political change so that it could be the first election to mark the beginning of multi-party politics.
Candidate Dong-yeon Kim of the Democratic Party and Eun-hye Kim of the People's Strength, who will face off in Gyeonggi-do, the biggest battlefield, had a heated debate in a TV debate broadcast live by three terrestrial broadcasters including SBS.
Candidate Dong-yeon Kim is the right person to lead the economy, including his career as deputy prime minister, and he emphasized that candidate Kim Eun-hye is a powerful ruling party candidate for the realization of the first new city reconstruction.
