“The counting process starts at 7 o’clock. We will not disclose the voting rates, nor will we reveal the rankings.”
The candidate camps have encouraged participation in the primary opinion poll by urging people to answer calls starting with ’02’ or ‘070’.
The competition between Na Kyung-won and Ahn Cheol-soo to enter the top four is particularly intense.
Both candidates visited Daegu and promised to push for the long-awaited local project of constructing a new airport, while also keeping each other in check.

“Former President Yoon mentioned he had recommended me to run for president, but then at the debate, when things were disadvantageous, he said not to mention former President Yoon…”
Candidate Kim Moon-soo announced a transportation pledge that includes a plan to expand the GTX nationwide.

“The GTX I designed is out, and our tunnel technology is the best in the world. If we can arrive in Seoul’s center, Seoul Station, within 30 minutes, wouldn’t that suffice?”
Candidate Yoo Jeong-bok repeatedly urged former President Yoon to resign, stating it’s time to show the resolve to “step over me.”
