Choo Mi-ae, the Democratic Party candidate for Gyeonggi governor, called on voters to support the upcoming election on June 3, urging them to judge the forces that threaten democracy and to pave the way for Gyeonggi's advancement.
On June 2, a day before the election, Choo's campaign committee released a statement noting that Gyeonggi's early voting rate stands at 20.96%, which is lower than the national average and ranks among the lowest of the 17 provinces and cities.
The campaign team emphasized that there is a clear desire among voters for the success of the Lee Jae-myung administration and for Gyeonggi to achieve greater progress. They expressed urgency, stating, "That passionate sentiment must translate into votes."
They also appealed for support for Choo and other ruling party candidates in the main election. The campaign team warned, "Complacency is not an option. If we let our guard down, the forces that threaten democracy will regroup," urging voters to prevent the resurgence of these forces through their ballots.
Furthermore, they highlighted that this election is crucial for normalizing South Korea and preventing the revival of insurrectionist forces, while also establishing a competent local government that can transform the lives of residents into tangible achievements under the Lee Jae-myung administration. They reiterated their plea for voters to lend their support once more.
