[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Lee Hae-chan, the Standing Election Committee Chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 13th, "Out of 121 constituencies in the metropolitan area, about 70 are competitive," adding, "The election results will depend on how much we gain in these areas."

At the joint election countermeasures committee meeting of the Democratic Party of Korea and the Democratic Citizens' Party held at candidate Kang Tae-woong's election office in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, that morning, Lee said, "Looking at past elections, the party that wins in the metropolitan area ultimately wins the election," and "Currently, only about 50 constituencies in the metropolitan area are within the party's safe zone."

He continued, "Most voters have made their decisions, but some seem to be still deliberating various issues until the last moment," and said, "In elections, the person who appeals with earnestness until the very end wins."

Finally, he emphasized, "I earnestly appeal to the people who desire political stability to cast their votes for the Democratic Party and the Citizens' Party in the closely contested areas," and added, "We will do our best to create a National Assembly that unfolds a new history."
