As we enter the second official day of campaigning for the April 13th general election,...the
three main political parties are continuing to hit the streets across Korea.
Leaders of the ruling Saenuri Party are taking aim at southern Gyeonggi-do Province this
Friday,...targeting populous cities south of Seoul,... such as Suwon and Ansan.
With the conservative party's support base in these regions believed to be shrinking,...
party leader Kim Moo-sung and floor leader Won Yoo-chul will spend the day drumming up
local support. The main opposition Minjoo Party kicked off
a two-night -three-day campaign in the nation's western Jeolla Province and on Jeju Island.
The regions are the party's traditional strongholds,... but due to the creation of the minor opposition
People's Party,... votes in the region are expected to be split among liberal candidates.
The People's Party will also spend the day in Gyeonggi-do Province and some districts
in Seoul on Friday. The party's co-leader Ahn Cheol-soo,... meanwhile,...
told reporters this morning that the party has not shut the door on a possible coalition
among opposition candidates though it is unlikely at this point.
