On the first day of candidate registration for the 22nd National Assembly election, the 21st, candidates from both ruling and opposition parties in the Daejeon area completed their registrations and vowed to secure victory.

Democratic Party candidate Park Beom-gye, running in the Seo-gu Eul electoral district of Daejeon, completed his registration at the Seo-gu Election Commission on the same day. Park appealed, “This National Assembly election is a judgment on the collapse of people’s livelihoods and the economic meltdown,” adding, “A powerful politician is needed to resolve the major livelihood and economic issues in Seo-gu and Daejeon.”

After completing his registration, People Power Party candidate Yang Hong-gyu, who is competing against Park, said, “I will definitely reclaim Seo-gu Eul, which has been taken by the Democratic Party for 12 years since 2012,” emphasizing, “Now, our politics must end the bloody battle between left and right camps and transform into a stage for policy debates solely focused on people’s livelihoods, national interests, establishing the global status of the Republic of Korea, and role sharing.”

Lee Sang-min, a six-term candidate from the People Power Party, also visited the Yuseong-gu Election Commission in the morning to register as the 22nd general election candidate for Yuseong-gu Eul in Daejeon. Lee appealed, “I will devote all my efforts to the second leap of science and technology, including the Daedeok Innopolis, regional development of Yuseong and Daejeon, and national development by utilizing the political power and leadership of a powerful ruling party veteran created by the people of Yuseong-gu,” adding, “I ask the people of Yuseong-gu to support and encourage me with passionate backing so that I can repay with bigger and more significant achievements at the center of national affairs.”

Democratic Party candidate Hwang Jeong-a, who is running against him, also completed her registration on the same day and visited the National Cemetery in Daejeon to pledge her determination for victory in the general election. Hwang said, “I will become the vanguard in judging the Yoon Seok-yeol administration and protect the Republic of Korea,” adding, “I will change the government that prioritizes the safety of suspects loyal to the president over soldiers who died in the line of duty and ensure that politics takes responsibility for the lives of the people.”

Additionally, Democratic Party candidates Jang Cheol-min for Daejeon Dong-gu and Park Jeong-hyun for Daejeon Daedeok also completed their registrations on the same day. Jang said, “Daejeon is a stronghold protecting the collapsing Korean economy and people’s livelihoods and the frontline for judging the administration,” adding, “The Democratic Party must achieve a landslide victory in Daejeon to stop the Yoon Seok-yeol government’s tyranny, save the people in crisis, and find hope.”

Candidate Park Jeong-hyun pledged, “I will fight skillfully against the Yoon Seok-yeol administration that neglects people’s livelihoods and become a capable member of the National Assembly who prioritizes people’s livelihoods and regional revitalization,” adding, “I will be a strong lawmaker who empowers the people of Daedeok-gu, a capable lawmaker who protects their lives, and a warm lawmaker who is always by their side.”
