Today (3rd), the last day of the Chuseok holiday, the ruling party leadership appears to be doing its best to support the by-election for the head of Gangseo-gu in Seoul.
Amid predictions in the Democratic Party that Representative Lee Jae-myung, who is undergoing treatment after fasting, is imminent to return to the National Assembly, a war of nerves between the two parties surrounding the proposal for a ‘leadership meeting’ continues.

Yes, it is the National Assembly.
[앵커]
Let’s take a look at the schedules of today’s major two parties.
First of all, the leadership of the People Power Party came out to support the by-election for the head of Gangseo-gu in Seoul today, right?
[기자]
Yes, the People Power Party leadership began its schedule on the last day of the Chuseok holiday in support of the by-election for the head of Gangseo-gu, Seoul.
Representative Kim Ki-hyun attended a meeting of candidate Kim Tae-woo’s Korea Airports Corporation subsidiary labor union this morning, and in the afternoon, leaders including floor leader Yoon Jae-ok will campaign for support at Hwagok Station and nearby traditional markets.
At the morning meeting, Representative Kim said that the development of Gangseo, which was left to the Democratic Party for the past 16 years, has continued to stagnate, and emphasized that this Gangseo-gu mayor election is an election that will decide whether to elect a worker or a parachute who engages in political warfare.
The Democratic Party, which previously held a support campaign during the holiday season, did not schedule a separate official support schedule for its leadership today.
Yesterday, floor leader Hong Ik-pyo personally rode on the campaign car of Jin Kyo-hoon, the Democratic Party’s candidate for Gangseo-gu mayor, and appealed for support, saying that a clear warning must be sent to the Yoon Seok-yeol government.

After the Chuseok holiday, the two major parties’ moves toward political leadership appear to be accelerating.
The war of nerves between the two parties continues over Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung’s proposal for a meeting between the leaders of the people’s livelihood.
[기자]
Yes, the People Power Party leadership unanimously criticized Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung’s proposal for a ‘leadership meeting’.
Representative Kim Ki-hyun met with reporters today at the by-election office of Kim Tae-woo, the Gangseo-gu mayor candidate, and said that it has been several months since he asked Representative Lee to hold a meeting with the ruling and opposition party representatives, but he kept running away as if he was scared.
At the morning meeting, floor leader Yoon Jae-ok also pointed out that the people’s livelihood cannot be taken care of only by meeting the president, and that the National Assembly is piling up issues related to the people’s livelihood that the Democratic Party is ignoring.
On the other hand, the Democratic Party is protesting, saying that it is a proposal for the people’s livelihood and demanding that it maintain its dignity as a ruling party.
Hong Ik-pyo, floor leader of the Democratic Party, said on the radio this morning, “If President Yoon and Representative Lee Jae-myung do not want to have a one-on-one conversation, they should come up with another plan, but they are moving towards a cycle of insults such as the so-called bulletproof talks.”
Floor Leader Hong plans to hold a press conference this afternoon to reflect on public sentiment during the Chuseok holiday, where plans to resolve future conflicts within the party are expected to be mentioned.
There are also predictions that Representative Lee Jae-myung, who is undergoing recovery treatment after fasting, may return to the National Assembly soon.
A key Democratic Party official told YTN that Representative Lee has a strong will to return to his party duties as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Kim Ki-hyun, leader of the People Power Party, canceled the press conference of the party leader scheduled for this afternoon, saying he would pour everything into the Gangseo-gu mayor by-election.
This has been delivered so far in the National Assembly.
