1 day, 5 cities: PPP's Kim Moon-soo travels from Jeju Island to Seoul on last campaign day

The People Power Party's Kim Moon-soo staged a nationwide campaign from Jeju Island to the capital Seoul to spend the eve of election day at the grass plaza in front of Seoul City Hall, promising reform in governance.

Oh Soo-young has more.

Literally pulling out all the stops on his last day of campaigning, the People Power Party's Kim Moon-soo travelled across five cities in ten hours.

From the southern island of Jeju to the capital Seoul, the 73-year-old candidate pledged reform in government and his party, to meet the call of the times and the demands of the people.

"I will push for bold party reforms to achieve internal democracy, a horizontal relationship between the party and the president, the president's non-intervention in party affairs, and a healthy relationship between the party and the government."

Once again, he issued an apology, over impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law declaration, which has tainted his party by association.

As he stopped by Busan for the third time, the conservative stronghold of Daegu, and the central city of Daejeon, Kim lashed out against his Democratic Party rival Lee Jae-myung, warning against his style of dictatorial governance, and raising a red flag over Lee's family scandals.

Kim stressed that his own wife had never used a corporate card and that his daughter had never publicly uttered vulgar language, like Lee's son allegedly did.

As if to prove his point, Kim was joined by his daughter in Daegu, and stood on stage with his family at his final rally at Seoul City Hall square.

The PPP candidate also emphasised unity with former rivals from the party primary, including Na Kyung-won, Ahn Cheol-soo, and Han Dong-hoon, to prevent what he called a dictatorship under Lee Jae-myung.

After failing to achieve a united conservative ticket with the Reform Party's Lee Jun-seok, Kim called on voters to back him, not Reform's candidate, saying a split vote would only help the DP's Lee Jae-myung win.

"I believe tomorrow will be a great day. It will be the day we stop the bulletproof dictatorship and protect the Republic of Korea, a day when this nation can finally blossom."

Kim ended the night, meeting citizens in areas bustling with young people, including Hongdae in central Seoul.

Over the 22 days of official campaigning, Kim has travelled more than 73-hundred kilometers to hold 157 events.
