[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] Lee Hae-chan, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, urged not to "let down our guard" regarding the early voting rate reaching 27%.

On the 12th, during a campaign rally supporting candidate Park Su-hyun (Gongju·Buyeo·Cheongyang), Lee said, "Since the early voting rate is about 27%, it seems that both our side and the other side have participated a lot." He added, "There are only three days left until the election, and the outcome will be largely decided during these three days," and said, "When looking at nationwide opinion polls, the number of competitive districts has increased significantly compared to before. This means this election is much fiercer."

He continued, "We need to surpass being the largest party and form a majority party with over 150 seats to smoothly carry out reform agendas," and urged, "Please do your best to not let your guard down and to participate in voting with a humble attitude." After the campaign rally supporting candidate Park on this last weekend before the election, Lee also visited the election office of candidate Na So-yeol (Chungnam Boryeong·Seocheon).

Meanwhile, Lee Nak-yeon, co-chairman of the Democratic Party's joint countermeasures committee, and former presidential chief of staff Im Jong-seok are focusing on supporting candidates in Seoul and the metropolitan area today.
