[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] The joint campaign rally for the Democratic Party's presidential candidate selection in the Gangwon region tour primary opened on the afternoon of the 12th at Oak Valley Resort in Wonju.

On-site speeches were delivered in the order of candidates Chu Mi-ae, Chung Sye-kyun, Lee Jae-myung, Kim Doo-kwan, Park Yong-jin, and Lee Nak-yeon, while the Democratic Party plans to sequentially announce the voting results of Gangwon regional party members and delegates as well as the '1st electorate' vote on the same day.

The 1st electorate consists of approximately 640,000 people, about one-third of the total electorate nearing 2 million, with a turnout rate of 76%.

The so-called 1st Super Week results, where a large-scale electorate vote count is conducted for the first time, are expected to drastically change the primary race dynamics.

Song Young-gil, leader of the Democratic Party, said, "Gangwon Province is no longer a peripheral area but the center of peace," adding, "We will establish the 4th Democratic government on March 9 next year and support the reenactment of the Pyeongchang Peace Olympics when the 2024 Youth Winter Olympics are held in Gangwon."
