On the 7th, Han Dong-hoon, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, urged his supporters to participate in voting, saying, "According to our analysis, a significant number of golden crosses are appearing in the battleground areas."


On the same day, Chairman Han encouraged participation in the main vote at a campaign event in Cheonan, Chungnam, saying, "You have to step up. If you step up, we win."


Chairman Han's mention of the "golden cross" refers to the phenomenon where People Power Party candidates are showing an upward trend in some battleground areas, while Democratic Party candidates are turning downward, resulting in People Power Party candidates overtaking in support rates.

Earlier, on the 3rd, Chairman Han had identified 55 closely contested areas nationwide, including 26 in the metropolitan area.


In this regard, on the 4th, the People Power Party analyzed that the closely contested areas with a support rate gap of 3 to 4 percentage points include 15 in Seoul, 11 in Incheon and Gyeonggi, 13 in Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam (PK), 13 in the Chungcheong region, and 3 in Gangwon.


Regarding the record-high early voting rate in the general election (31.28%), Chairman Han said, "There was clearly a tendency among our supporters to be passive about early voting in the past, but this time that tendency has decreased, and we are grateful," adding, "They have shown our momentum."



He continued, "Nevertheless, the main focus is still the main vote. According to our analysis, a significant number of golden crosses are currently occurring. Please do not be discouraged and go out to the polling stations," he appealed once again.
