The Democratic Party urged voters on June 2 to support the capable Lee Jae-myung government in the upcoming June 3 local elections, emphasizing the need to judge the ineffective local governments established under the Yoon Suk-yeol administration.
During a meeting at the National Assembly, Han Byung-do, the party's floor leader, stated, "This election is a starting point for normalizing the nation and moving toward a country where local communities thrive." He highlighted the progress made in the past year, noting that the KOSPI index is nearing the 9,000 mark.
Han emphasized, "We cannot allow irresponsible local governments that have damaged our regions to continue, especially those that emerged with the support of Yoon Suk-yeol four years ago."
Han Jeong-ae, chair of the party's policy committee, remarked, "Over the past year, the public has felt the effectiveness of the regime change brought about by the capable Lee Jae-myung government." She pointed out that the early voting turnout for this local election has reached a record high, reflecting the public's desire to judge the ineffective local governments under the Yoon administration and to support the capable Lee government.
Additionally, Han urged the National Election Commission to provide clear guidance, noting that many local council candidates are nominated by a single party, which can lead to invalid votes if voters select multiple candidates. She requested that voters be advised to vote for only one candidate.
