On the 25th, Chairman Kim said at the People Power Party's election countermeasures committee meeting, "This April 7 by-election will be an opportunity for the People Power Party to leap forward." He added, "The People Power Party currently boasts the highest approval ratings, and Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon's approval ratings are nearly 20% higher compared to Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party candidate," but cautioned, "Since this is just the beginning, we should not be satisfied with the current poll ratings and must carefully consider how to maintain them."

He continued, "We must lead the election more prudently," emphasizing, "We must never be complacent and need to be very cautious in our words and actions."

Regarding the Election Commission, he requested strict neutrality. Chairman Kim stated, "This election will be fiercely contested," and noted, "Since it is a one-on-one battle between the Democratic Party and the People Power Party, the election could escalate into a very chaotic situation." He added, "After experiencing the April 15 general election, many voters have expressed skepticism about elections," and warned, "Many suspect there might be fraud in the voting process, so the Election Commission, as an independent body, must make thorough efforts to ensure transparency in voting and counting to avoid such suspicions."
