Candidate Lee Byung-hoon of Gwangju Dongnam-eul Steps Up Efforts to Encourage Voting Participation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Lee Byung-hoon, the Democratic Party candidate for Gwangju Dong-gu and Nam-gu (Eul) in the April 15 general election, urged voters to participate in voting until the last day of the campaign.

On the 14th, Lee stated in a press release, "Active voter participation is crucial for the success of the Moon Jae-in administration, achieved together with the citizens of Gwangju through the Candlelight Revolution, and for the development of the old downtown area."

The final focused campaign rally is planned to be held at Sansu Five-way Intersection in Dong-gu.

Lee emphasized, "This National Assembly election is a preliminary battle for the success of the Moon Jae-in administration and the presidential election two years from now. It holds significant meaning in creating a prosperous and rightful Republic of Korea for all."

He also appealed, "In the final stages of the election, a large number of defamatory text messages against the candidate were sent, and we have reported this to the Election Commission as a candidate defamation crime. Such outdated politics must disappear from this land, and I ask the voters to judge candidates who freely utter all kinds of negative and reckless remarks."

He added, "The most urgent issue to be resolved in the 21st National Assembly is to revive the struggling economy of ordinary people due to COVID-19," and stated, "I will focus on implementing policies for small business owners, such as establishing a public order delivery platform."
