[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Congressman Ahn Ho-young (Democratic Party of Korea·Wanju-Jinan-Muju-Jangsu) has made it a foregone conclusion that he will run for governor of Jeonbuk Province in next year's local elections.

On the 7th, Congressman Ahn held a press conference at the provincial council and said, "Jeonbuk is at a time when it must change drastically," adding, "If given the opportunity to work for the development of Jeonbuk, I want to prepare well without hesitation and make a revolutionary change in Jeonbuk."

In particular, Congressman Ahn emphasized, "I feel frustrated looking at Jeonbuk's population and economy," and "Jeonbuk needs dynamic leadership at this point."

He also cited such leadership as his strength.

Regarding the future gubernatorial election landscape, Congressman Ahn said, "It is difficult to comment on this now," leaving a lingering note by adding, "There will be many opportunities to speak about it in the future."

Regarding the presidential election, Congressman Ahn asserted that the top priority is the re-creation of the administration.

Serving as the head of the Future Innovation Headquarters of Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province's Open Campaign, and co-head of the Jeonbuk election campaign headquarters, Congressman Ahn said, "I will do my best to ensure that the candidate who can win in the main election is victorious."

Congressman Ahn expressed, "Since presidential elections are often a 51 to 49 fight, this presidential election is also expected to be a tough battle," and "After the Democratic Party primary, we will unite as one team and pool our strength to definitely win the presidential election."

Meanwhile, the candidates expected to run in next year's Jeonbuk gubernatorial election include the current Governor Song Ha-jin, along with Congressmen Ahn Ho-young, Kim Yoon-duk, and Kim Sung-joo.
