Democratic Party and People Power Party Gwangju Branches Unite in One Voice: "Show the Power of Honam"

Democratic Party: "We Will Surely Create the Nation Honored by Honam's Aspirations"

People Power Party: "Beyond the Birthplace of Democracy, a Gwangju Full of New Jobs"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] On the eve of the 20th presidential election, the Gwangju Metropolitan City branches of the Democratic Party of Korea and the People Power Party are encouraging voters in the Honam region to vote and appealing for support.

The Democratic Party's Gwangju branch stated in a press release on the 8th, "The moment of destiny, whether South Korea will move forward or regress to the past, is approaching."

It continued, "Honam marked the start of the 20th presidential election with a record-breaking early voting turnout. It was the earnest will of the people of Honam to prevent a prosecutorial republic and a collusive republic," adding, "That momentum is now heading toward the capital area, the biggest battleground. Candidate Lee Jae-myung originally planned to visit Honam once more to greet the people, but at the request of our citizens, he chose to spend the last day in the capital area."

Furthermore, "Candidate Lee Jae-myung trusts Honam and promised to create a country that fulfills the hopes of the people of Honam," and appealed, "Please convey Lee Jae-myung's competence and his politics of unity to relatives and acquaintances who have not yet voted, and we urge all citizens of Gwangju to go to the polling stations without exception."

The People Power Party's Gwangju branch also said in a press release on the same day, "As the early voting rate has increased, we are confident that Honam's choice will be progressive and oriented toward change," and added, "We hope that you will definitely vote in the main election on the 9th so that Gwangju can show the highest voter turnout nationwide."

It continued, "Now Gwangju must talk about the future. We must not cling to the past," emphasizing, "Candidate Yoon Seok-youl's number one pledge for Gwangju is to develop Gwangju as South Korea's representative artificial intelligence city, strengthening the AI industry ecosystem centered on the national AI cluster, and nurturing it as South Korea's Silicon Valley."

It also stated, "The People Power Party promises to commercialize AI by industry and establish a specialized AI semiconductor complex," and asserted, "We will build a national AI data center and an industry-academia-research cluster linked with Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, creating a Gwangju that goes beyond the birthplace of democratization to a city full of new industries and jobs."

Meanwhile, "Today marks the end of the 22-day election campaign. If noise was caused by loudspeakers during the campaign, we apologize here," and added, "The People Power Party has respected the voices of the 2030 generation. We ask that university students and youth in their 20s and 30s become the protagonists in this presidential election."
