On May 28, one day before early voting for the June 3 local elections, Jung Won-o, the Democratic Party candidate for Seoul mayor, and Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate, appealed for voter support.
During a press conference at his campaign office in Sogong-dong, Jung stated, "This election is a choice between establishing citizen safety and life as the top priority of governance and starting a new Seoul that changes daily life for citizens." He urged voters to participate in early voting starting the next day.
Jung emphasized, "Let’s begin the change in leadership that protects the lives of citizens with Jung Won-o. Please choose a capable mayor who will get things done, one by one."
Oh also held a press conference at his campaign office in Gwancheol-dong later that afternoon to rally support.
He described the election as a critical juncture, stating, "This election will determine whether Seoul returns to a stagnant and regressive era or rises to become one of the top three global cities." Oh stressed the need for a prepared mayor who can return to the field immediately after the election to address pressing issues.
He added, "The candidate chosen by the people, not one selected unilaterally by those in power, should be responsible for Seoul. Please show how powerful and significant public sentiment is through your votes."
