Former National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik rejoined the Democratic Party of Korea on the 30th and joined the campaign trail for Seoul mayoral candidate Chong Won-o.
On the afternoon of the day, former Speaker Woo met candidate Chong on the Gyeongchun Line Forest Trail in Nowon District, Seoul, and went out for a street campaign together. Former Speaker Woo said, "I resigned as National Assembly speaker and rejoined at dawn today, so now I am a Democratic Party member," and added, "I came to our neighborhood to greet citizens, and candidate Chong came and welcomed me warmly."
Former Speaker Woo said, "At the National Assembly, I could not say much because of the duty of neutrality, but for the next four days I will do my best for the Democratic Party's one-team," and added, "This election is one to clearly judge the forces that caused an insurrection and threw state affairs into confusion, and to restore democracy."
Woo said, "A person like candidate Chong can make the heart of Seoul beat, and only by moving forward properly with the Lee Jae-myung administration through that heart can we build the Republic of Korea properly," and added, "I will work hard for candidate Chong's victory."
Former Speaker Woo stepped down from the National Assembly speaker's post on the 28th.
