Former President Park Geun-hye will visit Gijang Market in Gijang-gun, Busan on the afternoon of the 27th to campaign for People Power Party local election candidates.

According to the People Power Party's Busan chapter on the 26th, the former president will visit Gijang Market around 5:30 PM on the 27th to campaign for the People Power Party's local election candidates.

The campaign event will be attended by Busan Chapter Chairman Jung Dong-man, who represents Gijang-gun, Busan mayoral candidate Park Hyung-joon, Gijang-gun mayoral candidate Jung Myung-si, and candidates for metropolitan and basic council seats.

Former President Park is expected to visit merchants and voters at Gijang Market and appeal for support for the People Power Party's local election candidates.

It is understood that she will not give a separate speech, but will briefly explain the background of her support campaign when she meets with reporters after the event.

At a discussion session held at Dongseo University's Centum Campus on the same day, candidate Park Hyung-joon stated in response to a question from panelist Kim Jae-hyun, a senior reporter at Yonhap News, "We requested her support, believing it would be helpful."

He added, "The division among conservatives in Busan is evident due to North Gap," and "I believe that the former President Park, as a symbol of conservatism, will help unite conservatives when she comes, given the deep emotional divide."

The former president campaigned for People Power Party's Daegu mayoral candidate Chu Kyung-ho at Daegu Chilsung Market on the 23rd, and then traveled to the Chungcheong region on the 25th to support People Power Party candidates.
