Building momentum and crowds are not the same as votes! The Central Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party issued a letter to the entire party: "Arrogance will lead to defeat" and we must be cautious in our words and deeds

DPP Secretary-General Xu Guoyong clearly reminded that how to translate poll support into actual votes is the next most important test.

There are only more than 40 days left for the county and mayor elections. It is reported that the top leaders of the Democratic Progressive Party have repeatedly asked party officials to be cautious in their words and deeds, and not to predict the election situation or talk about poll data to the outside world. On the 16th, the Central Party Committee sent a letter to the county and city party headquarters, requiring all candidates, cadres and party officials to be cautious in their words and deeds, and remember that "a proud soldier will be defeated."

It is understood that senior party officials have been instructing party managers and party workers from the early stages of the election campaign not to predict the outcome or poll data to the outside world, so as not to trigger the outside world's perception of "grabbing the big and letting go the small" and which districts should be abandoned, and even be further manipulated by interested parties. As the momentum for North Korea continues to rise, senior leaders once again warned the party that they should respect the pace of each team's campaign and work together to turn momentum into substantive votes.

According to reports, Party Chairman Lai Qingde shouted to the party officials at the October 7 regular meeting: "Everyone must make up his mind and move forward steadily!" The competition became more intense in the end, and the more intense the competition became, the more it tested whether the team could stand firm and stick to its principles. At the regular meeting the following week (14th), Xu Guoyong clearly reminded that "leaving behind in the polls does not mean victory or defeat, and building momentum and crowds does not equal actual votes." How to convert poll support into actual votes is the next most important test.

Xu Guoyong said that in the last month or so before the election, any major controversies, policy attacks and defenses, emergencies and even changes in organizational mobilization may affect voters' attitudes and change the election situation. Therefore, no matter how the polls fluctuate, we cannot take it lightly, let alone relax just because we are ahead for a while.

Xu Guoyong called on not only candidates, but also campaign cadres, election support colleagues and all party officials to be careful in their words and deeds, and never let the outside world feel the slightest sense of complacency. Remember that "a proud soldier will be defeated." The more anticipated the election, the more cautious and fearful it is. The more support increases, the more humility must be maintained.

In order to implement the reminder, the Central Party Committee recorded excerpts of Xu Guoyong's above-mentioned conversation into propaganda cards, and sent a letter to the county and city party committees on the 16th, requesting that it be conveyed to all candidates nominated by the DPP, campaign cadres, and party officials. They must be cautious in their words and deeds. "The election situation can be optimistic, but the attitude cannot be arrogant; the momentum can be huge, but discipline cannot be relaxed." They must work together to win the final election.
