That morning at the cemetery in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, Jeong stated, "I have expressed my determination to create a Seoul where the citizens are the true owners to the patriotic forebears who sacrificed for the nation, renewing my resolve." He added, "I was joined by Seoul's National Assembly members and local party leaders today, and we shared this commitment together."

He further explained, "The four candidates I competed against in the primary all have experience in both government affairs and the National Assembly," adding, "Because they have many strengths in areas where I need to improve, I have invited them to serve as standing co-chairs of the campaign committee."

After paying respects at the memorial tower, Jeong left a message in the guestbook: "We will carry forward the noble intentions of the patriotic forebears and build a Seoul where citizens are the true owners." On this day, Representatives Lee Inyoung and Seo Youngkyo, who are serving as standing co-chairs of Jeong’s campaign committee, as well as Park Jumin, Jun Hyunhee, Kim Youngbae, and Kim Hyungnam—who were primary rivals—joined the visit.

Later, at 3:30 p.m., Jeong will hold a joint Seoul-Gyeongnam Mutual Cooperation Declaration with Kim Kyungsoo, candidate for governor of South Gyeongsang Province, at the Changdong Art Village in Masan, Gyeongnam. Both candidates plan to present a new model of mutual cooperation aligned with the region-led growth policy of the Lee Jaemyung administration.

Regarding this, Jeong stated, "There will be an agreement to maximize each region's strengths and compensate for weaknesses through mutual cooperation between rural areas and Seoul, creating synergy." He continued, "In the future, we plan to hold similar events in Gangwon Province as well." He also emphasized, "To achieve our G2 objective of attracting global talent and capital to spread from Seoul throughout the country, cooperation with the provinces is essential, so we are searching for win-win solutions."

Meanwhile, Jeong will visit Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province, along with Chu Mi-ae, candidate for governor of Gyeonggi Province, and Park Chan-dae, candidate for Incheon mayor, to pay respects at the grave of former President Roh Moo-hyun. The joint visit by the ruling party’s candidates for major metropolitan offices in the Seoul metropolitan area carries political significance, as it represents a commitment to continuing the political philosophy of former President Roh, who championed the spirit of local autonomy.
