[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Kim Jong-in, the Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, expressed confidence in the victory of Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party's Seoul mayoral candidate, a day before the April 7 by-election.

On the 6th, during a field campaign in front of Daechi Station in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Kim predicted the election results for the 7th, saying, "(Candidate Oh) will do well," and added, "I can firmly say that our candidate Oh will win."

He also emphasized, "It is the same for Busan," and stated, "People Power Party will win both Busan and Seoul."

Regarding the expected vote margin against Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party's Seoul mayoral candidate, he predicted, "The bigger the margin, the better, but I think it will be in the single digits."

Earlier that morning, Joo Ho-young, the floor leader of the People Power Party, said in an interview with CBS's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' that he expected a stable double-digit margin, saying, "I think we will win by at least 15% over candidate Park."

Kim had also said on the same program on the 25th of last month, "The current 20 percentage point gap will not fully continue," and predicted a victory margin of 5 to 7 percentage points, stating, "Two-thirds of Ahn Cheol-soo's supporters will go to candidate Oh Se-hoon, and one-third to candidate Park Young-sun." On the day before the election, he expected a larger vote margin than previously predicted.

Meanwhile, Kim, who is scheduled to end his term as Emergency Committee Chairman on the 8th, said about his retirement feelings, "Nothing special," and laughed, saying, "I am keeping the promises I made." When asked if he felt a sense of accomplishment as the Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, he replied, "The election results will tell."
