[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] The Muan County Council in Jeollanam-do announced on the 16th that Chairman Kim Dae-hyun received the Grand Prize in the Basic Councilor category at the ‘2021 Local Autonomy Awards’ ceremony held on the 12th at the Gwangju CNN21 Broadcasting Public Hall.

Organized by the Gwangju Regional Autonomy Policy Research Institute, the ‘2021 Local Autonomy Awards’ evaluates elected officials in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions based on the degree of pledge fulfillment and efforts in communicating with residents, awarding those who have contributed to the development of local autonomy.

Chairman Kim, who received the grand prize in the Basic Councilor category, has been serving as the chairman of the second half of the 8th Muan County Council. He was selected as the awardee in recognition of his active efforts to transform the county council into a ‘working council,’ his high pledge fulfillment rate, and his vigorous legislative activities, all contributing significantly to the development of local autonomy.

Chairman Kim Dae-hyun said in his acceptance speech, “I have only fulfilled my duty to keep promises made to local residents,” adding, “As we enter the era of Local Decentralization 2.0, I will continue to do my best to realize true local autonomy where the county residents are the owners.”

Meanwhile, despite being a first-term councilor, Chairman Kim is leading the second half of the 8th council as the youngest chairman in the history of the Muan County Council.
