Held a Press Conference at the Tent Election Office

Woo Gi-jong, a preliminary candidate, is holding a press conference at the tent election office.

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Candidate Woo Gi-jong held a press conference on the 16th in a tent without electricity, where he has not yet been able to report the relocation of his election office, in order to keep his promise.

Candidate Woo said, “On the 15th, the Democratic Party's Nomination Screening Committee confirmed the primary election for the Mokpo City district,” and added, “I deeply console candidates Kim Han-chang and Bae Jong-ho, who narrowly missed the opportunity to compete, and there is no way to soothe their disappointment and discouragement.”

He then requested, “As an equal party member of the Democratic Party, I earnestly hope for renewed determination to achieve victory in the general election and the success of the Moon Jae-in administration, and furthermore, to create a regime centered on figures and forces from Honam for the first time in 20 years.”

He continued, “As promised on the 14th, I intend to rise from the very bottom in a tent. I have become the first economic expert candidate for the National Assembly in Mokpo’s history and the first candidate to prepare for the primary election from a tent election office in Mokpo’s history,” and expressed his ambition, saying, “Having come down from a tall building, I will conduct the election at the citizens’ eye level, and I will start an election that advances step by step for Mokpo’s future together with the citizens, not walking ten steps alone.”

In particular, he appealed to the Democratic Party leadership, saying, “I hope there will be no more unfair primaries like in Mokpo,” and “I hope the party restores the authority of fairness and neutrality in the general election by strictly punishing all candidates and party members who engage in slander, false rumors, defamation, and malicious attacks.”

Candidate Woo Gi-jong promised four things, saying, “Starting anew today, ‘I will endure despite being wronged.’ ‘I will never lie.’ ‘I will conduct a policy election to the end like a fool.’ ‘I will never give up trust in the citizens of Mokpo,’” and added, “Please consider who can revive Mokpo’s economy and who can represent the Democratic Party to compete with Representative Park Ji-won.”
