Jung Cheong-rae, the leader of the Democratic Party, reflected on his campaign efforts on June 2, a day before the June 3 local elections, stating, "I did my best with a heart to move heaven." He characterized this local election as pivotal for resolving insurrection and shaping the future of South Korea while urging voters to participate.
After the conclusion of Jung Won-o's support rally in Seoul's Cheonggye Plaza, Jung told reporters, "The official campaign is now racing toward its final destination. I have worked hard to do everything I could and have given my all."
He added, "I moved with a heart to move heaven. I will spend tonight with the mindset of doing my best and leaving the rest to fate," indicating plans to encourage voter turnout through legal means on June 3, when campaigning is prohibited.
Jung emphasized the importance of this local election in supporting President Lee Jae-myung and eliminating the remnants of insurrection, asserting that South Korea must move forward toward a brighter future.
"This election is about empowering President Lee and clearing away the remnants of insurrection to advance toward the future of South Korea," he said. "We have done our best, and now we await the people's judgment."
He also noted that in key battleground areas, the election is expected to be closely contested, and he plans to work to increase voter turnout on the day of the election, June 3.
"In competitive regions, the outcome can be decided by a very small margin. Therefore, we must encourage voting tomorrow," Jung stated. "Ultimately, we need as many people as possible to come out to vote. I will conduct a campaign to encourage turnout through legal means."
