Gyeyang, Incheon, where Democratic Party adviser Lee Jae-myung, who was a presidential candidate, is running, also emerged as a battleground for this election.

The election results are expected to play a major role in the political status of Candidate Jae-myung Lee, so attention is being paid to.

On the last day of the campaign, Candidate Jae-myung Lee, the Democratic Party’s general election chairman, left national support to the party leadership and focused on the Incheon campaign.

After walking through the alleys in Gyeyang, where he was running, he held a joint campaign with Park Nam-chun, candidate for Incheon Mayor, and emphasized, “Please choose the proven ability and competence as Seongnam Mayor and Gyeonggi Governor.”

“It’s skill rather than ointment. It’s competence rather than ointment. Loyalty rather than ointment.”

In addition, in order to prevent the disappointment of the supporters who were disappointed by the flow of the polls, he encouraged them to “do not be deceived by the results of the opinion polls,” “if you vote, you win.”

Candidate Hyung-sun Yoon, who became the opponent of the presidential candidate, put forward a native theory targeting Candidate Jae-myung Lee, who had no regional ties.

He said he was the one who defended Gyeyang for 25 years, and appealed for support for regional development as a powerful ruling party candidate.

“People’s Power Yoon Seok-Yeol The government will work exclusively for Gyeyang with that People’s Power Yoon Hyung-sun, everyone.”

Even on the last day of the campaign, the leadership mobilized to Gyeyang-eul, saying, “If you make Yoon Hyung-sun a member of the National Assembly, I will entrust you with an important party post.”

The power of the people is doing all they can to sniper Lee Jae-myung, and after the presidential election, as the people’s power has maintained the upper hand in the party’s approval rating, Gyeyang, where Lee Jae-myung was initially expected to win, has entered a foggy state.

If candidate Lee Jae-myung wins as the Democratic Party’s observatory, he and the party are expected to recover from the aftermath of the presidential defeat and become a stepping stone for the next party and presidency.

On the other hand, since he was running after the election, he was criticized for being an unreasonable early start, so if he loses, he cannot guarantee his political life in the future.

Also, even if we win, our political influence will inevitably be severely damaged if it is a ‘short time’ or if the Incheon Mayor and Gyeonggi Governor do not win together.

As the results of this election are directly related to Lee Jae-myung’s future political moves, attention is focused on the confrontation with Candidate Hyung-sun Yoon.
