“We have predicted a crushing game of around 3% points from a long time ago.” (Lee Nak-yeon, Chairman of the Democratic Party’s Standing Election Committee)
“The more (the difference in votes), the better, but I think a two-digit number will come out.” (Kim Jong-in, Chairman of the National Power Emergency Response Committee)
On the 6th, one day before the 4·7 re-election by-election, the heads of the opposition and opposition parties gave the opposite view regarding the mayoral election in Seoul. Former Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon said, “Our supporters who did not speak began to express it,” and eventually predicted the victory of Democratic Party candidate Park Young-seon with a slight difference. On the other hand, Chairman Kim is confident that there will be no significant difference from the results of public opinion polls that the candidate Oh Se-hoon leads the people by around 20 percentage points.
The Democratic Party, which devoted its efforts to the’garden campaign’ in the late election campaign, believes that if the supporters gather together on the day of the election, it will be able to reverse sufficiently. Candidate Park said on this day, “It is clear that we are on the rise. That side is either stopped or on a downtrend,” he asserted, saying, “The elections you must do until the end.” In an interview with BBS radio, he pointed out that the theory of government judgment is’still gaining strength’ and argued that “the theory of judgment on the field is rather being changed to the theory of judgment of candidate Oh Se-hoon.” The Democratic Party’s own analysis is that the rise of Candidate Oh was dampened by a controversy over lies surrounding the suspicion of’self-compensation’ in Naegok-dong.
The people’s strength was confident that the’popular theory’ was not shaken. Ho-young Joo dismissed Lee’s prediction of a ‘3 percentage point win-win’ on CBS Radio as “the hopes of the Democratic Party” and said, “I think (Candidate Oh) will win with a difference of at least 15 percentage points.” .
However, there was also a warning voice saying that people should not be drowned in the atmosphere of victory within the power of the people. It is feared that if there are more supporters who do not visit the polling place on election day on weekdays because of the idea that they will win anyway, they may allow the Democrats with strong organizational power to take a turn. Rep. Kim Woong’s Power of the People said on the day, “It may not be false to say that candidate Park has’winned the pre-voting’ even while violating the Public Office Election Act.” If you don’t participate in the voting tomorrow, you may have to see Seoul Mayor Park Young-seon.”
