Haenam, Wando, Jindo Yoon Young-il: Only Capable Candidates Are Suitable for Regional Development

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Candidate Yoon Young-il, who ran in the 21st general election for the Jeonnam Haenam·Wando·Jindo electoral district, has launched a re-election challenge based on his extensive experience and capabilities.

Four years ago, Yoon ran as a candidate of the People’s Party, which caused a green wave, and defeated Kim Young-rok of the Democratic Party of Korea (then seeking a third term and currently Governor of Jeonnam) to enter the National Assembly.

After concluding his public service as the head of the Board of Audit and Inspection Training Institute, he also earned the title of the first National Assembly member from the Board of Audit and Inspection.

In this election, his strategy is to quell the Democratic Party wave by emphasizing his proven abilities and character based on four years of legislative activity.

Among local residents, there is also a favorable opinion that he should work for the region once more, overcoming the limitations of a first-term lawmaker and based on the achievements he has shown over the past four years.

In Haenam, the support of Myung Hyun-gwan, the county governor from the same party, is solid, while in Wando, former People’s Party supporters who still maintain a strong organizational base are backing him.

Additionally, in Jindo, he is supported by the Anti-Coal Ash Landfill Countermeasure Committee, cultural and artistic figures, and farmers’ organizations.

His pledges include reflecting the public value of agriculture in the constitution, securing 3 trillion won for the public-type direct payment system, and expanding special admissions for rural students in college entrance exams.

Candidate Yoon Young-il stated, “Now, people choose candidates based on their character rather than their party,” and added, “It is difficult to expect regional development from candidates with military backgrounds who do not understand local affairs such as agriculture and fisheries.”

He continued, “There is a growing public opinion that I, a policy budget expert coveted even by the Democratic Party, should work for the region once more,” and pledged, “I will create a country where rural areas are guaranteed income proportional to their work.”

Meanwhile, in Haenam·Wando·Jindo, alongside candidate Yoon, the Democratic Party of Korea’s Yoon Jae-gap and the National Revolutionary Dividend Party’s Kang Sang-beom are also running.
