[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] In the Seoul Seocho-gap by-election for the National Assembly held alongside the 20th presidential election, Jo Eun-hee, former Seocho District Mayor and the People Power Party candidate, is likely to enter the National Assembly. Former Commissioner Jo expressed her gratitude, saying, "I bow my head in thanks."


On the morning of the 10th, around 2 a.m., when her victory became likely, former Commissioner Jo conveyed her thanks through her Facebook page.


She said, "Drawing on my experience of motherly administration, I intend to carry out legislative activities that evenly shine warm sunlight on the shadowed areas of society," adding, "Former German Chancellor Merkel left a famous saying, 'Build bridges between conflicts.' With such 'motherly leadership,' I will build bridges of harmony over the deepening divides in our society, tend to the wounds of the difficult and struggling, wipe away their tears, and become a warm politician and a National Assembly member who practices positive politics that benefits the lives of the people."


Former Commissioner Jo also expressed gratitude regarding the confirmed victory of presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol. She said, "While I am happy about my own election, I am even happier and prouder of candidate Yoon Seok-yeol's presidential victory. I am confident that he will correct unfairness, achieve national unity, and lead the country dynamically and toward the future."



Furthermore, she added, "I want to contribute to creating a hopeful nation where adding 1℃ of warmth to 99℃ of water makes the liquid boil vigorously into gas. I believe that is the path to the success of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration."
