In addition, competition between former Minister of Small and Medium Venture Business Park Young-seon and Rep. Woo Sang-ho for the candidate for the by-election of the Democratic Party mayor of Seoul has intensified.
On the 21st, former Minister Park wrote on Facebook on the 21st, “I’ll try to deepen my thoughts on each day today,” and “I was a mid-term government official until 12 o’clock last night, and from today I’m going into reflection for mode change.”
It is interpreted that it has entered the’message design’ ahead of the official declaration of running for next week.
Rep. Woo met with reporters at the National Assembly, saying, “I’m happy that the uncertainty has been removed.” He said, “As long as Park Young-sun and Woo Sang-ho, we will be able to play a central role in reflecting the spirit of the times and revealing the identity of our party.”
Former Minister Park, a former anchor and a representative female politician in the passport, is evaluated as showing the superiority in organizational power, while former Minister Park, the representative of the ’86 generations’, shows an upper hand in public awareness.
Accordingly, former Minister Park is expected to prepare for the contest by increasing the contact area with lawmakers and strengthening the organization until candidate registration.
Rep. Woo is focusing on promoting the’right-handed brand’ with the sixth policy announcement until this day.
A party official said, “Rep. Woo is a symbolic figure of the democratization movement and has a solid organizational base within the party.”
There are many evaluations that the key depends on how much Congressman Woo raises the approval rating.
In the Winge Korea Consulting survey announced on the 5th (the error range is ±3.1% points with 95% confidence level, refer to the website of the Central Election Poll Deliberation Committee), among the pan-passport candidates, former Minister Park’s suitability was 18.5%, and Congressman Woo was 8.5%. .
If Rep. Woo fails to raise the approval rating to a meaningful level within this month, it is predicted that the vote will be displaced and will flow into a one-sided contest.
However, there is an expectation that when the primary race begins in earnest and the attention rises, the recognition of Rep. Woo will naturally rise and the pursuit will take place.
Rep. Woo said, “The results of the investigation in the bilateral structure have not yet come out,” and “I have to see who would have benefited from the two candidates.”
As Congressman Park Joo-min, who recorded a 9.6% approval rating in the previous survey, is not running, it is a concern where the votes of supporters will go.
In the party, there is an analysis that there is a high possibility that those who are analyzed as young progressives with a propensity to be pro-governmental (familiar) will have a high probability of “strategic voting” based on their competitiveness in the finals.
