[April 15 General Election] Elected Representative Kim Seung-nam: "I Will Create a Parliament That Works Properly"
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] In the 21st general election for the Jeonnam Goheung·Boseong·Jangheung·Gangjin electoral district, Kim Seungnam, the candidate from the Democratic Party of Korea, was elected.
As of 10:50 PM on the 15th, with a counting rate of 87.54%, candidate Kim secured 63,355 votes (62.48%), far ahead of the second-place candidate Hwang Juhong from the Minsheng Party, who received 35,159 votes (34.67%), confirming his election.
Kim Seungnam emphasized, "I believe the votes contain the solemn mandate of the local people to create a properly functioning National Assembly that firmly supports the Moon Jae-in administration, and to overcome the COVID-19 crisis and the global economic difficulties to enable South Korea's leap forward."
He added, "I think this election reflects the wish to bring significant change to the local farming and fishing villages, which are facing crises due to aging and population decline, through the power of the ruling party."
He also stated, "I will make the Deukryangman area and Gangjinman area into a tourism hub on the central-southern coast of Jeonnam, including legislation for the survival rights of farmers and fishermen, so that the southern coast becomes a 1-night 2-day stay tourism center."
Finally, he expressed his election sentiment, saying, "As the elected representative, I feel a heavy responsibility. I will firmly change the National Assembly into a working assembly, one that serves the people endlessly, and transform it into an advanced National Assembly."
