PPP's Kim rallies traditional support for final push; to vote in rival's district during early voting

Up next we turn to the conservative camp whose contender Kim Moon-soo is campaigning in the country's southeastern region.

For details I have Kim Do-yeon joining me live.

Do-yeon welcome back.

So what's the latest at your end?

Sun-hee,.. I'm in Yeongcheon of Gyeongsangbuk-do Province this is also Kim's birthplace.

Now, as you said it's a day before early voting starts and Kim chose the Gyeongsang-do provinces to rally targeting this conservative stronghold region.

Take a listen to what he's pledging for the region.

Dear citizens, we need an express train system that connects Busan, Ulsan, and all of Gyeongsangnam-do Province, so they're all within an hour of each other, to make cities that are convenient for commuting. I think jobs are the best welfare, and I'll be the president for it.

He's got a total of 7 rallies throughout the day plus a visit to a university campus in the region and a visit to a national cemetery for servicemen and women.

He started his rally far down in Changwon of Gyeongsangnam-do Province then hit Busan.

Now, he's in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, a bit further north in the region to hit cities in the province and he'll end his rally in Daegu later today.

As I said this is his last push to unite traditional PPP supporters who were feeling lukewarm about the election which has come from the PPP's former president's impeachment.

His message of course reiterates that his DP rival Lee Jae-myung has legal risks.

Also Do-yeon as I mentioned to Ha-young two days of EARLY voting starts tomorrow and I hear Kim will also be casting his ballot then.

Do tell us more.

Sun-hee, that's right he is going to the lion's den for this.

He's going to vote at a booth in Incheon City's Gyeyang-gu District the congressional district for Lee Jae-myung.

Take a listen to what the camp said.

To put meaning into voting in Incheon—it's not only Lee Jae-myung's home district, but also the historic city where the Incheon Landing Operation turned the tide of the Korean War, preventing a communist takeover and paving the way for South Korea's postwar transformation.

Meanwhile, as for the merger the Reform Party's Lee Jun-seok continues to be adamant about finishing the election so the timing seems tough.

And there doesn't seem like much communication between the two parties at the moment either but they have until late into the night today.

The PPP however says it's willing to give anything, except for the candidacy.

The PPP also claims that many reform party voters may change their minds as choosing Lee Jun-seok could be wasting a vote, so even a three-way race has its benefits.

Sun-hee.

All right Do-yeon thank you for that coverage of the conservative camp.
