Non-attendance Befalls the Rally Platform

In the morning of October 8, the leaders of the United New Democratic Party declared their “Organization for the Presidential Race,” and followed it with a speech rally for the Daegu-Gyeongbuk area at a Convention Center in Daegu. However, this afternoon’s event was noted for the absences of former Gyeonggi governor Sohn Hak-gyu and former Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan, consequently leaving former leader of the Uri Party Chung Dong-young, as the lone attendant at the non-capacity event.
