" until the end"..."It's hard to predict the outcome until it's over".

[Anchor]
As of 8 p.m. just now, the main vote for the by-elections has ended.

It is a "mini-election" to elect four heads of local governments and the superintendent of education of Seoul, but attention is drawn to the results as it is the first election under the two representatives, Han Dong-hoon and Lee Jae-myung, who are considered the next presidential candidates.

I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter PARK JEONG HYUN!

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

The main vote is over, so please point out the turnout situation first.

[Reporter]
Yes, the main vote, which began at 6 a.m., ended at 8 p.m. just a while ago.

If you look at the final turnout.

The voter turnout for the by-elections for Busan's Geumjeong-gu District Office, which drew the most attention, ended at 47.2%, and the turnout for Ganghwa County in Incheon was 58.3%.

In Yeonggwang and Gokseong, Jeollanam-do, turnout was 70.1% and 64.6%, respectively.

The turnout of the Seoul Superintendent of Education by-elections is expected to be relatively low, but the final tally is currently underway.

The outline of the election is expected to be revealed after 11 p.m. to around midnight.

Considering the past by-elections turnout, it is evaluated as a considerable turnout.

Until the end of this election, there were few places where there was a super-contest. Which constituency is the most attractive?

[Reporter]
Yes, the first election is for the head of Busan Geumjeong-gu.

Geumjeong is traditionally a conservative place.

However, it is true that there was little sense of crisis in the ruling party because the opposition party succeeded in unifying the candidate and followed closely, and the ruling party struggled with falling approval ratings.

Chairman Han Dong-hoon also worked hard to the extent that he visited Busan six times, and a party official evaluated that he did well if he succeeded in winning gold politics in the face of headwinds within the ruling camp.

As it was originally a region with strong conservative taxes, the party seemed to be struggling to encourage the vote, believing that it was a success or failure to bring the supporters to the polls.

[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: This by-election is an election to select local workers to work from tomorrow. Please vote for the number 2 workers.]

Internally, it is close, but it is still expected to be a dominant situation.

A party official carefully predicted that the turnout in Geumjeong area exceeded expectations in the call, and that it would be worth considering that conservative supporters gathered in a crisis.

However, another official declined to say that the results of the poll were fierce until the end, so he didn't know until the vote was counted.

The Democratic Party of Korea has expressed some expectations for the victory, but in fact, it also shows a tendency to see it as a measure of public sentiment rather than victory or defeat.

The Democratic Party of Korea expressed its "regime judgment theory" within the election, and a party official said in a call that the government's judgment will be able to check the degree of reflection in the government's judgment, depending on the gap in approval ratings, even if it loses.

[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader: It totally depends on who does it. When the world is ruined, no matter how hard I try, it's hard to live well no matter how good I am.

Another match point for this election, Jeonnam Yeonggwang, where the three opposition parties compete each other.

In the first place, the Democratic Party and the Innovation Party flowed into a bilateral structure, but it is difficult to guarantee the outcome as the Progressive Party made strides in last-minute polls.

In particular, as the turnout in the Honam region is remarkably high, we should wait and see until the vote is counted.

A Democratic Party official positively analyzed the situation, saying, "The flow and structure have been caught to some extent due to the last-minute gathering of supporters."

Cho Kuk, leader of the Innovation Party, appealed for support in an SNS post, saying, "The Innovation Party is proud to have raised the election to the national scale of the judgment of the regime," and the Progressive Party also campaigned in Yeonggwang until the end of the campaign.

Please also summarize the impact of this election on the political situation in the future.

[Reporter]
Yes, in fact, this election is not a big election that does not include the heads of metropolitan governments such as lawmakers or city/province governors.

Nevertheless, the situation has grown to the extent that both the ruling and opposition party representatives have waged all-out wars in major battlegrounds to the end.

The reason is that this election has emerged as a kind of gauge of public sentiment after the general election.

In particular, interest naturally grew as it was the first election to face off in the new leadership system of the next presidential candidates of the ruling and opposition parties.

First of all, looking at the situation of the ruling party, Han has continued to criticize Kim Gun-hee recently, and the level of his remarks has gradually increased, from calls for personnel reform in the presidential office to cleaning up the so-called "Mrs. Line."

An uncomfortable atmosphere flows around the pro-Yoon system in the party to the extent that a public war of words breaks out over this,
From the standpoint of representative
, failure to keep the "golden politics" with strong conservative support is likely to lead to internal responsibility and opposition.

However, some in close circles predict that representative Han's existing stance and leadership will continue regardless of the election results.

It is argued that the "Kim First Lady risk" has reached a critical point amid a sense of crisis of the collapse of the passport.

As soon as tomorrow, the prosecution is expected to take action in connection with Kim's alleged manipulation of Deutsche Motors stock price,
This is why attention is being paid to what kind of message Han will send after the by-elections, as he is scheduled to meet with the president next week.

[Shin Ji-ho / Minister of Strategic Planning for People's Power (Channel A 'Politics Signal') : I will meet Han Dong-hoon after doing it all. If the order is arranged in this way, the meaning of the meeting will inevitably fade, whether it is the meeting alone or the interview.

In the case of the Democratic Party of Korea, it is widely expected that there will be no significant impact on the party leadership even if it loses in Busan's gold politics, but in the case of Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do, which faced the three opposition parties, if it does not win, the repercussion seems inevitable.

In particular, as representative Lee Jae-myung's violation of the Public Official Election Act and the first trial of perjury teachers are set to be sentenced next month, the party's single confrontation is more important than ever.

The majority opinion is that if it is shaken in Honam, which is a solid support base, it will inevitably affect Lee's leadership.

If the current leadership gains momentum depending on the election results, the Democratic Party is expected to launch a full-fledged rental struggle by raising its offensive level further, including Kim Gun-hee, the first lady.

In fact, today, the Democratic Party of Korea seemed to be pulling together by adopting Mrs. Kim and Myung Tae-kyun as witnesses of the National Assembly's steering committee alone and submitting a rule revision bill for a permanent independent counsel to the subcommittee.

[Han Min-soo / Spokesperson of the Democratic Party of Korea (YTN 'Bae Seung-hee's News Fighting'): In the end, whether it is a special prosecutor or not, if it turns out to be true, I think I can go to a situation where it is not easy for this administration to exist.]

On the contrary, if the Cho Kuk Innovation Party and the Progressive Party, which caused a sensation in Honam, do well in this election, there are observations that their position in politics will grow and the opposition landscape could move.
