[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, cast his early vote in Gwangju. It appears that a full-scale offensive is underway to achieve the goal of a 30% vote share for candidate Yoon Seok-yeol in Honam, a stronghold barren for conservative parties.


On the first day of early voting for the 20th presidential election, at around 8:05 a.m. on the 4th, Lee entered the Yeongbong-dong early voting station at Chonnam National University in Buk-gu, Gwangju, accompanied by the People Power Party’s youth aides.


Before voting, Lee handed his ID to the election official, went through the identity verification process, and then entered the voting tent with the envelope and ballot received from the official.


After voting, Lee placed his ballot into the ballot box, casting a precious vote in Gwangju. His face was full of composure, seemingly reflecting his determination to show a changed image of the People Power Party in Gwangju and the Honam region.

Lee said, "In this local election, the People Power Party will nominate many candidates mainly among young people," adding, "If there are people who have not supported us because we have not made sufficient efforts in the region so far, we will now show a completely changed image."


He continued, "The people know that candidate Yoon Seok-yeol has made more efforts for the Gwangju and Honam regions than in any other election," and promised, "We will strive to implement many pledges related to Gwangju and Honam from the transition committee stage."


He also said, "Although it may still be difficult to get more votes than the opposing candidate, I want to make sure the local residents know that every additional vote contributes significantly to the record of vote share in the Honam region, which will be recorded in history," stimulating the voting sentiment of Gwangju citizens.



Meanwhile, on the 18th, Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, raised the Honam vote share target from 25% to 30%.
