Democratic Party Gwangju Branch, Incumbent Chairman Song Gap-seok Decided for 'Reappointment'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The current Song Gap-seok has been reappointed as the next chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea's Gwangju Metropolitan City Party Committee.

According to the Democratic Party's Gwangju City Party on the 30th, the eight members of the National Assembly from the Gwangju area decided to unanimously endorse Chairman Song again.

This decision is said to reflect the firm determination of all Democratic Party members of the National Assembly to fulfill their responsibilities and roles with a one-team spirit for the stable operation of the city party, in response to the overwhelming support the Democratic Party received from the citizens of Gwangju.

The Gwangju lawmakers also prioritized the development of Gwangju during the recent National Assembly standing committee assignments, avoiding duplicate applications for committees and securing placements in important committees to maximize synergy effects.

Song Gap-seok, chairman of the city party committee, stated, “I will do my best to transform the Gwangju City Party to meet the expectations of the citizens, aiming for the reestablishment of the administration, which is the hope of Honam people, and victory in the local elections.”

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party's Gwangju City Party will accept chairman candidate registrations until 6 p.m. today. If two or more candidates register, a primary election will be held; however, since Chairman Song was unanimously endorsed, the city party chairman will be confirmed at the city party executive committee meeting on the 8th of next month after obtaining consent.
