[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seoul Metropolitan Council member Sang-ho Jo (Democratic Party representative member, Seodaemun 4) participated in the ‘Expecting Local Autonomy Challenge’ on the 18th.

The ‘Expecting Local Autonomy Challenge’ is a public interest challenge that began with the aspiration to open an era of local autonomy where citizens are the owners, thanks to the passage of the full revision of the Local Autonomy Act in 2020. It proceeds in a relay format where the nominated person recommends the next participant.

Representative Jo Sang-ho joined the challenge upon nomination by Kim In-ho, Chairman of the Seoul Metropolitan Council. Representative Jo said, “Last year, the long-standing wish of 32 years of local autonomy was fulfilled. It is very meaningful to be nominated and participate in the ‘Expecting Local Autonomy Challenge’ at the opening of 2021, which will be the new beginning of local autonomy.” He added, “We will continue to make every effort to achieve true local autonomy and contribute to the realization of democracy,” appealing for active interest and participation from citizens.

Representative Jo Sang-ho nominated Young-sil Lee, Chairperson of the Health and Welfare Committee of the Seoul Metropolitan Council, and Ki-chan Choi, Chairperson of the Education Committee of the Seoul Metropolitan Council, as the next challengers.
