[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party is launching a focused campaign to appeal directly to the public in the Seoul and Gyeonggi regions with just three days left until the general election. This appears to be an effort to garner support from voters in the metropolitan area, where they are relatively disadvantaged.


On the 12th at 10 a.m., United Future Party leader Hwang Kyo-ahn and co-election committee chairs Park Hyung-joon and Shin Se-don will hold a focused public appeal campaign at Cheonggye Square in Seoul for the April 15 general election. Representative Yoo Seung-min will also be present. At the same time, General Election Committee Chair Kim Jong-in will conduct a focused public appeal campaign in front of Suwon Yeongdong Market. They are expected to call for support by criticizing the Moon Jae-in administration's policies over the past three years.


Chairman Kim will visit key battlegrounds in the metropolitan area, including Pyeongtaek and Yongin in Gyeonggi Province, and Gangnam, Dongjak, Geumcheon, Yangcheon, and Jongno in Seoul, to appeal for last-minute support. In particular, at 6 p.m., he will campaign in Jongno alongside Leader Hwang.


Committee Chair Park will conduct candidate support campaigns in Seongnam Bundang, Anyang Dongan, Gwangmyeong, and Bucheon in Gyeonggi Province after the focused public appeal campaign, while Representative Yoo will support candidates in Jung-gu Seongdong-gap and -eul, as well as Nowon-a and -byeong-eul districts in Seoul following the focused appeal.



Meanwhile, the United Future Party continued its criticism of the government's economic failures on the same day. At the emergency economic countermeasures meeting of the Central Election Committee held at the National Assembly, Chairman Kim said, "Even the Gyeonggi Province governor and Seoul mayor are providing disaster relief funds, but the central government is not doing what it should," adding, "The government must immediately issue a financial order to secure resources and save the economic actors who are in dire straits."
