Choi Ki-bong, a preliminary candidate, is making a declaration of candidacy.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Choi Ki-bong, a preliminary candidate of the People Power Party, has announced his candidacy for the position of Geochang County Governor.

On the 30th, Candidate Choi held a press conference at the rotary square in front of Geochang County Office and declared his candidacy, stating, "I will open the era of a 10 trillion won budget."

He said, "I stand here with a solemn heart to run as a candidate for Geochang County Governor in the June local elections." He emphasized, "I have always been thirsty for the development of my hometown Geochang, and since starting my public service career in 1982, I have accumulated diverse administrative and political experience in central and local governments, as well as a rich personal network in the central government."

He also pointed out, "Geochang is currently facing a crisis; once a central city in western Gyeongnam, it is now classified as a population extinction risk area due to low birth rates and aging, with an unemployment rate twice that of neighboring local governments, and the trend is increasing." He passionately stated, "The streets of Geochang at sunset are silent."

Candidate Choi stressed, "If we can change Geochang's difficult financial conditions by building various infrastructures necessary for self-reliance with central government budgets, discovering new industries for future food sources, attracting companies to prevent population outflow, creating jobs, and establishing a foundation for revitalizing the local economy, Geochang's crisis can become a new opportunity."

He promised, "For a strong Geochang! Innovative growth with more inspiration, I will open the era of a '10 trillion won budget' with a new future vision through five major county administration goals and twelve strategic directions."

Candidate Choi appealed for support, saying, "I am confident that Geochang will surely soar as a city envied by all, and I will create a new Geochang! An innovative Geochang! A vibrant Geochang together with the residents."
