[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, has been selected as the local government head who best fulfilled his campaign promises.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 25th that Governor Lee received the highest grade, SA, in the evaluation of campaign promise fulfillment and information disclosure for the 7th local government term nationwide, conducted by the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters.

The Korea Manifesto Evaluation Group evaluated 17 city and provincial heads nationwide from February based on five categories as of December 31, 2019: ▲completion of campaign promises ▲achievement of 2019 campaign goals ▲resident communication ▲web communication ▲consistency of campaign promises, and classified the results into five grades from SA to D.

Governor Lee received the highest grade, SA, in the categories of campaign promise completion and resident communication, earning an overall SA grade in the evaluation.

Along with Gyeonggi Province, four other metropolitan governments received the SA grade: Seoul Special City, Gwangju Metropolitan City, Chungcheongnam-do, and Jeju Special Self-Governing Province.

The province’s campaign promise completion rate was 51.78% compared to the entire 7th local government term plan, which is 14.6 percentage points higher than the national average of 37.18%.

Additionally, Gyeonggi Province accurately disclosed the status of campaign promise fulfillment on its official website and established regulations for managing the governor’s campaign promises, institutionalizing resident participation in the fulfillment and evaluation process, earning high scores in the resident communication category as well.

Governor Lee emphasized, "Campaign promises are a public commitment to the sovereign residents, and fulfilling them is a matter of basic trust and fulfilling the responsibilities and duties as an elected official. Regardless of whether the promises are big or small, I will communicate with the residents and diligently fulfill the promises during the remaining term."

Last year, Gyeonggi Province received the highest grade (SA) in the evaluation of the campaign implementation plan for 365 promises across five major areas under the vision of "A New Gyeonggi, A Fair World": ▲Gyeonggi Province where residents are the owners ▲Gyeonggi Province guaranteeing the basics of life ▲Gyeonggi Province overflowing with innovative economy ▲Gyeonggi Province with a clean environment, convenient transportation, and a desirable place to live ▲Safe and enjoyable Gyeonggi Province.
