[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, a leading presidential candidate within the Democratic Party and Governor of Gyeonggi Province, promised to "definitely win as one team" after securing first place by an overwhelming margin in Daejeon and Chungnam, the Democratic Party's first regional primary.

On the 4th, Lee posted on Facebook a message titled "Deep gratitude for the overwhelming support. We will definitely win as one team," stating, "You have chosen 'a definite regime reestablishment' and 'definite competitiveness in the general election,'" and expressed his thanks to the party members and citizens of Daejeon and Chungnam who gave him strong support.

He continued, "Today's 'overwhelming support' is a stern command to prevent the return of the forces that corrupted the government," and praised it as "a wish to unite with the spirit of one team and definitely establish the 4th Democratic government."

He added, "The choice of Chungcheong has determined the future of the Republic of Korea," and pledged, "Therefore, I feel a greater sense of responsibility and will work harder to prove once again that Chungcheong's choice was right."

Furthermore, Lee said, "I will continue to move forward step by step with a more humble heart, thinking only of the people and their livelihoods," and added, "I also express my gratitude to candidates Kim Du-kwan, Chung Sye-kyun, Lee Nak-yeon, Park Yong-jin, and Chu Mi-ae, who campaigned together."

Meanwhile, in the Democratic Party's first regional primary in Daejeon and Chungnam on the same day, candidate Lee Jae-myung secured first place with 54.81% of the vote. Candidate Lee Nak-yeon followed with 27.41%, and candidate Chung Sye-kyun with 7.84%. The vote difference between Lee Jae-myung and second-place Lee Nak-yeon was 27.4 percentage points.
