Woo Sang-ho "Trailing by 4-5% in Seoul but Changing... Winning as Much as Won in Seoul"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Woo Sang-ho, the General Election Campaign Headquarters Chief of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 1st, "We believe that if we win in Seoul, we can win the election."

On the same day, Woo held a press conference at the Yeouido party office and said, "Currently, we are estimated to be trailing by about 4-5% in Seoul," adding, "Nevertheless, if the overall polls show a close race, it means that winning in Seoul equates to winning overall. There is definitely a change in Seoul as well."

He said, "Candidate Lee was stuck in the 34-35% range for about a month and a half, but recently has reached the low 40% range," calling it a "close election."

Woo also explained, "Seoul is emerging as the decisive battleground in the final stages of the election," and "Today, candidate Lee Jae-myung plans to hold focused campaign rallies in Seoul."

He continued, "At today's Myeongdong rally, party members and supporters from the Seoul area will gather in full force," adding, "The reason for choosing Myeongdong as the location is because it is a symbolic place that ignited the June 1987 Democratic Uprising during the democracy crisis, and it is also a symbol of overcoming the economic crisis, where gold collection began during the IMF economic crisis."
