Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 464 Elected

"No see," Zhu Mengzhun waved his hand, with some indifference in his eyes.

"Don't be like that," Zhu Mengyong seemed to have a bigger picture, "Even if he fails in the presidential election, he is still a member of Congress."

"Second brother," Zhu Mengzhun shook his head, "you don't know."

"Roh Moo-hyun lost the election this time, and his political career is doomed to be short-lived," he said, looking out the window. "I am announcing the end of my partnership with him at this time after careful consideration."

"On the surface, this person's ideas seem fine, but in reality, they affect the interests of too many people."

"Under the current system of the Republic of Korea," Zhu Mengzhun said dimly, "not to mention that he hasn't become president yet, he can't do it even if he becomes president."

"He thought he could get the support of those people by saying that he would decentralize the president's control over the five judicial agencies?"

"Little did he know that he was offending everyone who has the potential to run for president in the future."

Zhu Mengzhun sneered and said nothing more.

This time, Lu Wuxuan's late-night visit to Zhu Mengzhun's home was his last attempt.

He tried to get Zhu Mengzhun to retract his original statement, but was kicked out by Zhu Mengzhun.

To be precise, he did not enter Zhu Mengzhun's house.

At six o'clock the next morning, voters began voting at tens of thousands of polling stations across the Korean Peninsula to elect the next president.

As usual, today is a national holiday.

Voters began to go to polling stations to vote early in the morning.

Even South Korea's current President Kim Min-jung voted at a polling station near the Blue House and called on voters to actively participate in the voting and exercise their rights.

As for who he voted for, it was of course Roh Moo-hyun, whom he had previously favored.

However, he also understood that given the recent situation, Roh Moo-hyun's election was likely to be in jeopardy.

There were originally seven candidates running for the election, and Lee Yeon-chang of the Grand National Party and Roh Moo-hyun of the Millennium Democratic Party were both leading in the race.

The others were just running along, but there was also a gap between the two of them.

At the beginning, with the help of Jin Minzhong and Zhu Mengzhun, he was evenly matched with Li Lianchang, forming a situation of two strong competitors.

However, Li Lianchang also has the support of former President Jin Shuisan.

But gradually, due to Li You's "despicable" means of using the Internet for publicity and his unique reputation among young people, Li Lianchang began to gain a great advantage.

Last night, Joo Mong-joon, leader of the People's United 21 Party, which had worked with the Millennium Democratic Party during the campaign, announced that he had decided to withdraw his support for Roh Moo-hyun due to differences in their policies.

Although the election results will be counted at midnight, the outcome has already been decided.

Among these, the issue that matters most to those who want to participate in elections in the future is the age of the voters.

One of the characteristics of this election was the serious age polarization at the beginning.

At the beginning, the ideas of Millennium Democratic Party Congressman Lu received almost overwhelming support from people in their twenties to forties.

Grand National Party Rep. Lee also had an overwhelming advantage in the 50- to 60-year-old age group.

The difference in age groups is mainly due to the different views of voters on Li and Lu.

Middle-aged and elderly voters believe that Lee Huichang is stable, has political experience, is good at handling complex international relations, and can ensure the stability of the national economy.

Young voters, on the other hand, see Roh as creative and passionate, and are pleased with his proposal to revise the unequal U.S. military agreement in South Korea.

But then, Li Lianchang also said in the media and on the Internet that if he was elected president, he would also demand the revision of the unequal agreement. However, all this made them see Li You's appeal among young people.

The convenience of future mobile phones will make many young people who like new things naturally have a good impression of Li You.

What's more, with the highly developed entertainment industry, the entire Korean Peninsula attaches great importance to appearance.

Li You has a handsome face, which may be the reason.

But they also don't understand why Lee Woo, one of the biggest chaebol leaders on the Korean Peninsula, can gain the support of so many young people.

What's more, Li You's back is always stained with black.

The voting will end at 6 pm, and all ballot boxes will be escorted to the counting station for counting. The counting will be completed around midnight and the winner will be determined.

At this moment, Li You still stayed up all night, after all, it was the night when the new president appeared.

Even though he is the biggest supporter, he should be given corresponding respect and blessings now.

The counting speed was not slow, and the news came out just after twelve o'clock.

By the time people on the Korean Peninsula in front of the TV got the news.

"The presidential election was held today," said a female reporter in the middle of the night in December, with her legs exposed under the spotlight and a stereotyped smile on her face. "Lee Yeon-chang, the presidential candidate of the opposition Grand National Party, defeated his strong opponent with a majority vote, and Roh Moo-hyun, the presidential candidate of the ruling Millennium Democratic Party, was elected as the first new president of South Korea in the 21st century."

"Since this election is the first in South Korea since the 21st century, the election results will directly affect South Korea's economic direction after overcoming the financial crisis and

Li You turned off the TV and called Li Lianchang.

The call was answered immediately. It was obvious that Li Lianchang was waiting in front of the phone. "President Li!"

The old man didn't sleep so late because he was successfully elected president. His voice was full of excitement and excitement. His long-cherished wish was fulfilled today.

"It's not right to congratulate Congressman Li," Li You said with a smile, "You should call him Mr. President."

Li Lianchang said modestly, "It's better not to call him that now. President Kim will not step down until next year."

The two chatted for a while, and after Li You congratulated him, he turned the topic to Li Mingxue.

"The presidential election was successful, and the next one is the mayoral election," Li You looked at the silent screen on TV with a calm face, "We can't take it lightly yet."

Li Lianchang also made a solemn promise.

Of course he would help.

Li Mingxue's identity is naturally on Li Lianchang's side. Not to mention that Li Mingxue has now joined the Grand National Party, the three of them belong to the Jeonju Lee family. What's more, if Li Lianchang takes office as president next year, the mayor of Seoul must be one of his own, otherwise he will be a lame president.

The current mayor, Choi Chang-di, ran for election without any party affiliation and cooperated with the current President Kim Min-jung in all matters, which is why he was not targeted.

If Choi Chang-eol had been a member of their Grand National Party before, he would have been targeted by Kim Min-jung, the president of the Millennium Democratic Party, long ago.

Li You didn't talk too much. Tonight could be the climax of Li Lianchang's political career. He didn't know how many phone calls he would receive to wish him well.

After Li You hung up the phone, he turned off the TV.

In fact, Li Lianchang had some problems in the middle.

In November, the media under the Millennium Democratic Party revealed that Li Lianchang's son was suspected of using illegal means to evade military service more than a decade ago.

Because photos from more than ten years ago were dug up, it was discovered that Li Lianchang's son was on vacation during a period that was not a Korean military holiday.

This is known as 'Soldier's Wind'.
