Preliminary Candidate Lee Gang-rae Holds Appointment Ceremony for Namwon Campaign Committee

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Lee Gang-rae, the Democratic Party of Korea's preliminary candidate for Namwon, Imsil, and Sunchang in Jeonbuk, held a certificate awarding ceremony for the Namwon regional election countermeasures committee at his campaign office on the 25th, pledging victory for the Democratic Party of Korea and candidate Lee Gang-rae in the April 15 general election.

The certificate awarding ceremony was significantly scaled down in line with the government's recent strict 'social distancing' measures and was held in a simplified manner with only some members of the entire election countermeasures committee receiving certificates.

Additionally, temperature checks and the use of hand sanitizer were required upon entering the campaign office, and entry was restricted for those not wearing masks.

At the ceremony, Yoon Ji-hong, chairman of the Namwon City Council, was appointed as the chairman of the Namwon regional election countermeasures committee, and former Namwon City Council chairmen Lee Seok-bo, Hyeong Byeong-ok, Kim Hong-rye, Jang Jong-han, and Jeong Jun-sik were appointed as co-chairmen.

The election countermeasures committee was composed of the chairman, general headquarters, organization headquarters, general affairs headquarters, policy headquarters, and spokesperson group.

Candidate Lee emphasized victory in the general election, stating, “The region has stagnated for eight years from one first-term lawmaker to another, and various pending issues have been abandoned or left adrift. I will achieve regional development through a change from a first-term to a powerful ruling party veteran.”
