The official election campaign for the October 16 by-elections, which selects four heads of local governments and the superintendent of education in Seoul, began today.

Tomorrow, the National Assembly is expected to re-vote three bills that President Yoon has called for re-examination.

I'll connect you to the National Assembly reporter for more information. Reporter Kang Min-kyung!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's the National Assembly.

Please tell me how the official campaign of the ruling and opposition parties will proceed.

[Reporter]
Yes, the areas where the election for the head of the local government will be held this time are Geumjeong-gu, Busan, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, and Yeonggwang-gun and Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do.

Among them, the People's Power has nominated three candidates except for Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do.

In particular, from the ruling party's point of view, Geumjeong-gun in Busan and Ganghwa-gun in Incheon are dominant areas where they have to "capture," so the leadership seems to be strengthening from the first day of the campaign.

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho is especially active, and he will visit Ganghwa Pungmul Market this afternoon to appeal for support for Park Yong-chul, a candidate for Ganghwa County, and attend the opening ceremony.

CEO Han Dong-hoon, who has already visited Ganghwa and Busan once, will hold a campaign rally to support Gokseong, Jeollanam-do, a vulnerable area of the party, starting next week.

After that, the plan is to visit Busan and Incheon again and hold an on-site supreme council to further consolidate the party's power.

The opposition party has also launched full-fledged support for the election, especially the battle for Honam.

Representative Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party will start a campaign to support in Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do today, and then move on to Geumjeong, Busan in the afternoon.

As the Democratic Party of Korea is focusing its efforts on recapturing Geumjeong-gu, Busan, judging that public sentiment in the PK region, which was classified as the dominant region of the ruling party, is unusual, it is predicted that the confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties in the region will be the most severe.

Cho Kuk, the leader of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, will carry out all schedules today in Yeonggwang and Gokseong, Jeollanam-do.

As representative Cho Kuk actively participates in this election, the opposition party's competition for the Honam leadership is intensifying.

In the meantime, attention is being paid to the opposition party's unification of candidates for Busan's Geumjeong-gu district office, but the Democratic Party of Korea and the Cho Kuk Innovation Party have yet to narrow their differences over the unification method.

The official campaign period for the October 16 by-elections is 13 days until the 15th.

Although it is a mini-election to select one superintendent and four heads of local governments, the ruling and opposition parties are each engaged in an all-out war as it is recognized as a prelude to the local elections next year.

In the meantime, there is a high possibility that the National Assembly will re-vote the bills that President Yoon has called for re-examination tomorrow, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the amendment to the Special Prosecutor Act on First Lady Kim Gun-hee and Chae Sang-byung and the Local Currency Act, which passed the National Assembly led by the opposition, is expected to be put to a vote again at the plenary session tomorrow.

The requirement to pass the re-voting requires the approval of at least two-thirds of the members present to attend the majority of the registered members.

If all 300 lawmakers attend the plenary session, the requirement for approval is to have more than eight votes from the ruling party, which has 200 seats, or 108 seats.

The Democratic Party, which is pushing for a re-vote, is raising the level of pressure that the special prosecution is a national demand and that the more time the people's power drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be.

However, even within the Democratic Party of Korea, the size of the ruling party's departure vote is not expected to be large.

We are focusing on cracking down on internal votes, saying that there will be no departure votes for the people's power.

Chairman Han Dong-hoon met with reporters and explained that the special prosecution law is a special prosecution law at the discretion of the Democratic Party, and that he thinks the bill is rejected and plans to persuade lawmakers to do so.

However, there are growing voices within the party conscious of the public criticism of Kim's allegations.

Rep. Kim Yong-tae said on SBS radio that the sooner Kim expressed her position, the better, and pointed out that the worst way is to be taken to the opposition party and apologized.Amid mounting opposition pressure on the

Kim Special Counsel Act, the battle between the ruling and opposition parties over the re-vote is expected to intensify if the plenary session is held tomorrow.

So far, I've delivered it to you by the National Assembly.
