SEOUL, June 2 (UPI) -- The top candidates in the South Korean presidential race made their final campaign pitches to voters on Monday, one day before a snap election caused by ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed martial law attempt and subsequent impeachment.
The liberal frontrunner, Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung, made several stops throughout the Seoul metropolitan area before an evening rally in Yeouido Park near the National Assembly.
Conservative candidate Kim Moon-soo of the People Power Party, meanwhile, traveled around the country on Monday, starting on Jeju Island and making appearances in Busan, Daegu and Daejeon before finishing with a rally in front of Seoul's City Hall.
Most polls show Lee holding a commanding lead over Kim, with a Gallup Korea survey last week giving him an edge of 49% to 35%.
