[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Ki-dong] Preliminary candidate Woo Gi-jong announced on the 6th at the 2nd policy pledge briefing that he would participate in the policy debate proposed by preliminary candidates Bae Jong-ho and Kim Han-chang for the victory of the Democratic Party of Korea.


Preliminary candidate Woo stated that the policy debate is "the most appropriate and effective election campaign in the current situation," and proposed, "Each preliminary candidate's camp should form a preparation team with two policy staff members each and promote the policy debate as soon as possible based on the agreed content."


As a result, it seems that the policy debate among the four preliminary candidates belonging to the Democratic Party of Korea will be held soon once the date and debate format are agreed upon.


Preliminary candidate Woo Gi-jong expressed expectations for the policy debate, saying, "It will be a good opportunity for Mokpo citizens to judge which candidate has properly prepared policies for Mokpo, whose policy pledges are feasible, and which candidate has sufficient capability to realize the promised policies."


He added, "Through this policy debate and the primary process, I hope we can find the direction Mokpo should take and unite as one for the victory of our Democratic Party of Korea, gathering strength to eliminate entrenched politics."



Accordingly, it is expected to be an opportunity to raise the status of Mokpo as a political hotspot by avoiding destructive competition such as smear campaigns among the Democratic Party of Korea's Mokpo city National Assembly preliminary candidates and anticipating a healthy policy contest.
