On this day, Representative Ahn held a press conference at the Gyeonggi Provincial Council briefing room and declared his candidacy, saying, "In times of crisis, a master of battle is needed. We must put forward a Democratic Party candidate who can lead the party's self-strengthening and embody true Democratic values." He criticized President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, "They will immediately start planned investigations and political retaliation against Moon Jae-in and Lee Jae-myung," and added, "The arrogant occupying forces are not communicating with the people at all; as soon as the presidential election ended, they have been ignoring everyone and pushing forward unilaterally like dictators."

He continued, "My opponent is none other than President Yoon Seok-yeol," and raised his voice, saying, "I will confront the Yoon administration with the determination of General Yi Sun-sin."

Representative Ahn also emphasized that he is the right person to inherit the achievements of former Governor Lee Jae-myung and to demonstrate his experience and capabilities as a five-term lawmaker.

He said, "I will fully succeed Lee Jae-myung's policy pledges," and promised, "I will promptly and adequately compensate for the damages caused by COVID-19 immediately upon taking office."

Along with this, he announced the 'Lee Jae-myung Plus 5' pledges, which include establishing and connecting 10 metropolitan coexistence living zones, founding a semiconductor university and leading AI advanced industries, investing 10% of the budget in education, and establishing venture startup centers for people in their 50s and 20s in 10 key locations.

He added, "The way to survive is to set 'Democracy' and 'Reform' straight," and said, "For that, Lee Jae-myung, the standing advisor, must run for party leader in the August party convention."

Targeting Kim Dong-yeon, leader of the New Wave party, who declared his candidacy for Gyeonggi Province governor on the same day, he fired a warning, saying, "What is needed now is not a gentle and mild scholar-like leadership, but a determined and resolute leadership like Yi Sun-sin." Furthermore, regarding former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, who is running as a pre-candidate for Gyeonggi Province governor from the People Power Party, he shot, "He was a 'Nakdong River duck egg' and I worry he might become a 'Han River duck egg'."
