Gyeongnam Social Group Declares Support for Kim Du-kwan as a Candidate Capable of Leading Beyond Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam to Lead South Korea

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Members of the Gyeongnam Provincial Assembly, city and county councilors, and representatives of the Gyeongnam Nosamo have declared their support for Kim Du-gwan, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea who announced his candidacy for the presidential election.

On the 6th, the attendees held a press conference in front of the Gyeongnam Provincial Assembly and announced, "We welcome Assemblyman Kim Du-gwan's presidential candidacy at a time eight months before the presidential election."

They explained the reason for their support, saying, "Candidate Kim Du-gwan is the candidate who can unify and take responsibility for the Republic of Korea beyond the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam (Bu-Ul-Gyeong) region, and he is a candidate with competitiveness and scalability for the main election."

They appealed for support, stating, "Candidate Kim Du-gwan values sweat more than land, highly appreciates the value of sweat, and emphasizes principles and fairness. He is a candidate who can well reflect the hardships of ordinary people and has steadily built administrative capabilities from the local level to the central government."

They continued, "The bold decentralization, radical balanced development, and realization of a federal-level decentralized state, which are the vision of the Republic of Korea, are consistent with the creation of the Bu-Ul-Gyeong megacity," and emphasized, "Policies that avoid the Seoul Republic, overcome inequality, and resolve polarization to complete national balanced development must be the foundation of state affairs."

They added, "Candidate Kim's career, from village head of Gyeongnam to county governor, Minister of the Interior and Safety, governor, and then advancing to the National Assembly, is a symbol of 'grassroots democracy' itself," and said, "We are confident that Kim Du-gwan, the only candidate from Bu-Ul-Gyeong with both administrative and political capabilities, will create a new history in our political landscape."
