Speaking at Jung's final campaign rally in Cheonggye Plaza, Jung stated, "We need to elect a Democratic mayor, a Democratic president, and Democratic district heads to ensure they work in harmony." He further appealed for support, saying, "Winning in Seoul is crucial for winning nationwide." He warned that failing to eliminate the remnants of insurrection could lead to a resurgence of corruption and political turmoil in South Korea.
Democratic lawmakers have united in support of Jung's candidacy. Park Jumin, who competed against Jung in the party's primary, joined him at the rally. Park has been actively campaigning for Jung as part of a special support team composed of candidates who lost in the primary.
Park stated, "If there are issues with housing, public transport, and welfare in Seoul, who should be replaced? We must remove Oh Se-hoon, who has ruined Seoul, and elect Jung Won-o to develop the city alongside President Lee's government."
Seo Young-kyo, chair of the Legal Affairs Committee, referenced allegations against Oh regarding campaign financing and declared, "I will take the lead in the trial against Oh Se-hoon. Please ensure Jung Won-o is elected."
Han Jeong-ae, chair of the policy committee, noted, "The KOSPI is rising and exports are strong, but these benefits must come through the Seoul city government. It is outrageous for a mayor to obstruct the work of President Lee, who is serving the people."
Former National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik remarked, "The insurrection is not over yet. I pushed for constitutional amendments to prevent illegal martial law, and seeing the People Power Party oppose this makes me worry that if they gain power, chaos will return. That is why I am here to support Jung, who has proven his capabilities in Seongdong-gu. President Lee has shown how effective he can be, having served as mayor of Seongnam, governor of Gyeonggi Province, and now as president."
