At the party's Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly on the 11th, Floor Leader Hong said, "The public sentiment that we must set right a backward-moving Korea has gathered in Gangseo District," and emphasized, "You must vote to judge."

He actively encouraged participation in the Gangseo District mayoral by-election, which is held until 8 p.m. that day, saying, "Although daily life is busy, please make sure to take the time to choose the development and future of Gangseo District. Send a warning to the arrogant power."

Before the meeting, the Democratic Party also shouted slogans holding hand placards with the name of Democratic Party candidate Jin Gyo-hoon, saying, "Change happens only when you vote. You win only when you vote."

Regarding the National Assembly audit that began the day before, Floor Leader Hong criticized, "On the first day of the audit, the government and ruling party's obstruction went too far," adding, "The government consistently showed insincerity by not submitting materials and evading answers, and the ruling party gave up standing with the people and became a shield for the government."

He also pointed out, "They disrupted the National Defense Committee, and the key witness of the Osong disaster deliberately avoided receiving the summons to attend the audit and did not participate in the Public Administration and Security Committee," and "They also deliberately obstructed audits in the Political Affairs Committee and the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee."

He said, "The government and ruling party nullifying the audit means they are fighting against the people," and added, "They should not be so eager to hide their mistakes with an arrogant attitude. I urge them to approach the audit with a humble attitude."
