[Asia Economy Reporters Hyunju Lee and Juhee Kang] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, stated on the 1st that it is unbelievable that the rotten politicians of the Democratic Party of Korea would 'reform themselves' and carry out political reform for national unity. He appealed for support, saying, "It is a tremendous political reform that a political newcomer like me takes charge of this country's government."

On the day, eight days before the presidential election, during a field campaign in Sinchon, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, Candidate Yoon said, "From the beginning of my political career, I have repeatedly said that if we unify the regions and factions and solely adhere to the constitutional spirit of liberal democracy and market economy, I will go together with everyone. Isn't that national unity and political reform?"

He criticized, "With ten days left until the election, the ruling party talks about constitutional amendments and forming a national unity government again. For five years, they have continuously abused power, pushed through bills by force, monopolized standing committee chairmanships, and acted with double standards and majority party tyranny. Now, what kind of deception are they trying to play on the people?" He added, "Can rotten and corrupt people unify the nation? Does it make sense for such people to call for unity and political reform just ten days before the election?"

Candidate Yoon said, "They look down on the people, ignore them, and only when elections come do they try to steal votes again. They consider the people as objects of deception. Do not be fooled," and emphasized, "Regime change is political reform." He also stressed, "You are the owners and sovereigns of this country. Rotten Democratic Party politicians are not the owners of this country."

Candidate Yoon also urged early voting on the 4th and 5th, not just on the main voting day, the 9th. He said, "We will activate party organizations to thoroughly ensure fair elections and monitor fraud," and added, "With your overwhelming support, if I and the People Power Party take charge of the government, we will become an honest government with an honest president."
