Leaders of the Democratic Party of Korea and the People Power Party visited Suwon, Gyeonggi, and Incheon, respectively. With 58 days left until the local elections, they aimed to examine pending issues in the greater Seoul area and support local election candidates. While Democratic Party local election candidates welcomed the leadership's visit, there were sharp remarks within the People Power Party urging the leadership to change course.
On the morning of the 6th, Democratic Party leader Jung Chung-rae said at an on-site Supreme Council meeting held at the Suwon Art Center Small Theater in Gyeonggi, "For Korea to prosper, Gyeonggi must thrive," adding, "We will do our utmost until the end so that Gyeonggi residents feel that 'the Democratic Party is strong in a crisis and good on the economy.'"
At the on-site Supreme Council meeting that day, preliminary candidates for Gyeonggi governor Han Jun-ho, Choo Mi-ae, and Kim Dong-yeon (ballot order) also attended. After wrapping up the meeting, leader Jung and the gubernatorial candidates visited the livelihood front lines, including meeting merchants directly at Motgol Market in Suwon.
At Motgol Market that day, preliminary candidate Han Jun-ho said, "I believe the leadership, by visiting a traditional market in person and feeling how hard things are for ordinary people, will swiftly handle the supplementary budget," and preliminary candidate Kim Dong-yeon said, "The party leadership visited Motgol Market, and this place is truly the barometer of everyday livelihoods." Preliminary candidate Choo Mi-ae also said, "I am sincerely grateful that the Jung Chung-rae leadership came to (Suwon)."
The People Power Party held its first on-site Supreme Council meeting of the year on the morning of the 6th at the Incheon Metropolitan City Party office in Namdong District, Incheon. However, during the meeting, lawmakers and district party heads from Incheon voiced criticism of the leadership's course and local election strategy. As public rebukes poured in, leader Jang Dong-hyeok showed visible discomfort, suggesting they "criticize the Democratic Party."
At the Supreme Council meeting, People Power Party lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun, representing Incheon Dong–Michuhol B, said, "We must ask ourselves whether our party truly empowers our candidates or weighs them down," adding, "Our candidates want the party center to shift to an emergency mode of change and innovation." Son Beom-gyu, the party's Namdong A district head from the same party, also said, "We must reflect on whether we have achieved innovation and whether we have offered hope to the people."
After the on-site Supreme Council meeting, leader Jang visited the "1,000-won housing" in Gyeyang District, Incheon. The 1,000-won housing is a policy that provides dwellings at a monthly rent of 30,000 won to newlyweds without homes, and it is considered a signature policy of Yoo Jeong-bok, the Incheon mayor from the People Power Party. However, Yoo was said to have skipped the event in consideration of the Public Official Election Act.
