[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] "The past 10 years have been a period of stagnation for Seoul, in a sense, a lost decade. Now, I will definitely make Seoul a city that runs vigorously again for the next 10 years, a soaring Seoul."

Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate for Seoul mayor (photo), posted on his Facebook at midnight on the 7th, along with a photo encouraging voting, saying, "To the citizens with passionate expressions who urged me to win and revive Seoul and judge the regime, I will never forget you until I die." He declared, "I understand the hearts of the people well. I will definitely pass the test," and added, "I will not pass on the debt, bleak future, and era of division created by the older generation to our children and youth." He continued, "I will keep the promise to restore fairness and justice and create a Seoul of coexistence. I will build a country where justice and common sense prevail, a Korea we can be proud of." Oh also appealed, "Please do not give up on the future of Korea, the future of Seoul, and the future of our sons and daughters," and urged, "Please resolve the grievances in politics through voting."

Oh met with reporters after finishing his last campaign at Dongdaemun Nampyeonghwa Market around 10 p.m. the previous night, saying, "I am sorry that I could not fully convey Seoul’s vision and policies and that the election seemed to be fought based on past images." Regarding predictions of the election outcome, Oh referred to People Power Party floor leader Joo Ho-young’s mention of a "victory with a gap of more than 15 percentage points," saying, "I felt nervous seeing such predictions," and added, "Approval ratings and vote shares are completely different. Double digits are like a dream."
