[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 18th, it was announced that Hapcheon County has transitioned to the acting authority of Vice County Governor Lee Seon-gi after Hapcheon County Governor Moon Jun-hee's invalidation of election was confirmed by the Supreme Court's final appeal.


Acting Authority Lee Seon-gi held an emergency executive meeting and said, "A regrettable event has occurred for Hapcheon County and its residents," adding, "Since there is great concern among residents about the administrative vacuum, the approximately 800 public officials should feel a heavy responsibility and carry out their duties."


He also urged, "Public officials should maintain strict work discipline and uphold political neutrality in the upcoming local elections."


Acting Authority Lee said, "I feel a heavy responsibility in taking on the important role of acting county governor in this difficult situation," and added, "Ongoing local projects will be carried out without any setbacks."



Lee Seon-gi, originally from Changnyeong, Gyeongnam, entered public service in 1988 and has served as Director of Planning and Coordination Office of Gyeongsangnam-do, Director of the Secretariat at Gyeongnam Provincial Geochang College, Director of the Gyeongsangnam-do Archives, and Director of the Gyeongsangnam-do Disabled Welfare Division. He was inaugurated as Vice County Governor of Hapcheon County in January of this year.
