Candidate Lee Hyung-seok Holds 'Citizen Participation Policy Committee' Meeting

Opening a 'Forum for Discussion' to Share Local Issues with Citizen Participation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Lee Hyung-seok, a preliminary candidate of the Democratic Party for the National Assembly election in Buk-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced on the 9th that he held a ‘Citizen Participation Policy Committee’ at his election office.

About 50 citizens participated in the Citizen Participation Policy Committee on that day.

This initiative was promoted to break away from the traditional election method of unilaterally presenting pledges, allowing citizens to directly participate from the policy discovery stage, share local issues with citizens, and create a Gwangju where everyone lives well together.

The preliminary candidate said, “The future politics will be an era of leading together with citizens. Anyone who is a citizen can participate, propose policy pledges, and share implementation plans,” and added, “I am grateful to those who participated in the Citizen Participation Policy Committee.”

He continued, “We plan to hold committees by region every week to discover policy ideas suitable for local characteristics and devise solutions to livelihood issues,” emphasizing, “We will use the Citizen Participation Policy Committee as a channel for communication with citizens to create a space for coexistence.”

Meanwhile, the preliminary candidate attends the Democratic Party’s Supreme Council meetings held at the National Assembly main building every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to represent the voice of Honam, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, he addresses local civil complaints and participates in the Citizen Participation Policy Committee to take care of livelihood issues.
