After Jeong Se-kyun resigned… Nak-Yeon Lee ‘Closing the Gap’
As former Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun, 71, withdrew from the Democratic Party’s presidential primary, expectations for Lee Nak-yeon are growing. It is expected that it will be able to absorb some of the approval ratings of former Prime Minister Jeong, who is also from Honam. However, as former Prime Minister Jeong did not declare support for a specific candidate, the former representative is also taking a cautious approach.
Lee’s side views the impact of the resignation of Prime Minister Jeong as positive. A key official from Lee’s side spoke to a reporter on the 14th, saying, “It will be an opportunity for the supporters to gather as Lee Nak-yeon’s theory of the Honam candidate gains momentum.” Former CEO Lee is risking his life and death to capture votes ahead of the Honam primary on the 25th and 26th. It is known that the number of campers in Seoul was minimized and all personnel were concentrated in Honam. The plan is to narrow the current gap of about 110,000 votes with Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung by betting on Honam, which has about 200,000 rights party members.
There are also concerns and prudence. In order to block Lee’s majority and advance to the finals, it is necessary to embrace former Prime Minister Jeong’s approval rating of 4%. However, ex-Prime Minister Jeong expressed his discomfort with the unification with former President Lee, and there is no guarantee that his approval rating will be fully absorbed by the former representative. A person from Lee’s side said, “Although Prime Minister Jeong has influence in Honam, elections are ultimately decided by one person and one heart, and it seems it is not polite to talk about the good or bad in itself (to the party members).” said There is also concern that lost votes will flow into ‘Lee Jae-myung’s popular theory’ in the recent election, in which the flow of public opinion is more important than organizational power.
Former CEO Lee plans to send his condolences to former Prime Minister Jeong in the near future. A camp official said, “Since it must have been an unexpected situation (as former Prime Minister Jeong), I will give you words of consolation and tell you whether you should play a role in re-creating the regime.” At the working level, it is known that they have been in contact with the former Prime Minister right after the resignation of the Prime Minister.
On the same day, former CEO Lee held a policy agreement ceremony with the corporation ‘Comma’ in relation to the aftercare of young female cancer patients, and then held a press conference at the National Assembly to provide the child support to single-parent families first. announced the promise. From the 15th, it was announced that he would go down to Honam again, visit Jeonbuk and Gwangju in turn, and digest the Honam schedule during the Chuseok holiday.
