Protect only strong areas such as the 3 districts of Gangnam… No, likely to win at least 34 out of 48 locations in Seoul
No, likely to win 63 out of 74 seats in Gyeonggi-Incheon… There are likely to be more seats than the last general election.
In the metropolitan area, where 122 seats, nearly half of the 254 constituencies across the country, were at stake, the Democratic Party of Korea won a landslide victory, riding the wind of judgment on the regime. The Democratic Party won 103 of 121 seats in the metropolitan area in the 21st general election, and similar results were repeated.
As of 5:30 a.m. on the 11th, the Democratic Party won 10 of the 13 districts in the Han River Belt in Seoul, which is considered a barometer of public sentiment. The People Power Party was struggling throughout the metropolitan area except for the three districts of Gangnam and faced cold public opinion from the moderates.
● Securing at least 37 out of 48 democratic Seoul
As of the same time, among the 48 districts in Seoul, there were 37 districts where the Democratic Party candidate was elected. On the other hand, the places where the People Power Party was ahead were only 11 places, including Gangnam-gap·Eul-byeong, Seocho-gap·eul, Songpa-gap·eul, Yongsan, Dongjak-eul, Dobong-gap, and Mapo-gap. The Democratic Party won in 10 of the Seoul Han River Belt. In particular, they all achieved victory after close battles that lasted until dawn in three locations, including Yangcheongap, Dongjakgap, and Yeongdeungpo-eul. Mapo, Yeongdeungpo, Dongjak, Yongsan, Jung, Seongdong, Gwangjin, and Gangdong-gu, which belong to the Han River Belt, were all places where candidate Seok-yeol Yoon was ahead of candidate Jae-myung Lee in the last presidential election. The Han River Belt is a fierce battleground where voters’ support patterns change significantly every election, and is considered a barometer of public sentiment. The People Power Party, which won 8 seats in the Han River Belt in the 21st general election, retained all 8 seats it won in the last general election and added seats in 3 places.
The Democratic Party has steadily increased the number of seats in the Seoul region, including 35 seats in the 20th and 41 seats in the 21st, after its predecessor, the Democratic United Party, won 30 seats in Seoul in the 19th general election, but this time, some regions were transferred to the People Power Party. I gave it away. The People Power Party also shows limits to its expansion amidst the overall atmosphere of a crushing defeat in the Seoul region, leading to a growing sense of crisis within the party. An official from the People’s Power Party said, “We even carried out a town and small strategy at the end of the election, but we could not overcome the strong trend of criticism of the regime.” He added, “In the election held in the third year of the administration, there is a theory of judgment of Lee and Jo (Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party and Cho Kuk, leader of the Reform Party).” “It was also a strategic defeat,” he said.
● In Gyeonggi and Incheon, where 74 seats were at stake, 65 seats were secured.
In the Gyeonggi and Incheon regions, the Democratic Party is expected to win more seats than in the last general election.
In Gyeonggi Province, where 60 seats were at stake, the largest number of seats in the country, the Democratic Party swept 53 seats. The People Power Party barely retained seats in six places where it won in the last general election, including Bundang-gap in Seongnam, Dongducheon-Yangju-Yeoncheon, Yeoju-Yangpyeong, Pocheon-Gapyeong, and Icheon.
In Hwaseong-eul, after a fierce battle between Democratic Party candidate Gong Young-woon and New Reform Party leader Lee Jun-seok, candidate Lee entered Yeouido. In the case of Bundang-eul, Seongnam, Democratic Party candidate Kim Byeong-wook and People Power Party candidate Kim Eun-hye were seen going back and forth until dawn. Hanam Gap, where the People Power Party candidate Lee Yong, who is considered President Yoon Seok-yeol’s bodyguard, and Choo Mi-ae, who served as President Yoon’s sniper, are competing, is also in the midst of a close race. A Democratic Party official said, “In Gyeonggi-do, the proportion of young people in their 30s and 40s moving from Seoul is increasing, and as Representative Lee Jae-myung received good evaluations as a former governor, the terrain is increasingly favorable to the Democratic Party.” He said, “As the situation improved significantly at the end of the election, the concentration of party power in difficult areas such as northern Gyeonggi was also effective.”
In Incheon, where 14 seats were at stake, the Democratic Party took 12 seats. The People Power Party produced lawmakers from only two districts: Jung-Ongjin-Ganghwa (Bae Jun-young) and Dong-Michuhol (Yoon Sang-hyeon). After People Power Party lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun defeated Democratic Party candidate Nam Young-hee by 171 votes in the last general election, a fierce battle continued until the last minute of vote counting in Dong-Michuhol, where a ‘rematch’ was held between the two.
