[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Kwon Young-se, the head of the People Power Party's election campaign headquarters, expressed concern over the lower-than-expected voter turnout on the 9th and encouraged people to vote.


On the same day, Kwon appeared on the People Power Party's YouTube channel "Oreun Sori" during the "Red2gether Live" broadcast, stating, "Even if the turnout increases by 3% every hour, it will be just over 77%, which I think is similar to the level of the 2017 presidential election," adding, "As many predict, if more people vote, it will be advantageous for us."


He urged voters to express their desire for a regime change through voting. Kwon said, "If there are people who have not voted yet, I ask them to hurry to the polling stations and cast their votes."


Kwon appealed for support, describing Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, as a consistent person. He emphasized, "He is an excellent candidate in terms of character. He is polite, has a strong sense of justice, and since he served as Prosecutor General, he perfectly upholds the law."



Meanwhile, as of 5 p.m. on the same day, the voter turnout was recorded at 73.6%. Compared to the 70.1% turnout at the same time during the previous presidential election, this is 3.5 percentage points higher.
