Candidates Kim Young-bin (Democratic Party) and Yoon Yong-geun (People Power Party) for the Gongju-Buyeo-Cheongyang by-election concentrated their final campaign efforts in Gongju, the most populous area of the constituency, on June 2nd.
Former President Park Geun-hye visited Daejeon and Gongju to support People Power Party candidates Lee Jang-woo (Daejeon Mayor) and Kim Tae-heum (Chungnam Governor). The Democratic Party criticized her involvement, calling it an attempt to exploit past political scandals for electoral gain.
Former President Park Geun-hye will join Song Eon-seok, co-chair of the People Power Party's election committee, in Gongju on May 25 to support candidates Kim Tae-heum (for Chungnam Governor) and Yoon Yong-geun (for the Gongju-Buyeo-Cheongyang parliamentary by-election). This is part of the party's 'two-track' campaign strategy ahead of the June 3 local elections.
