Sangju City Hall.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] Sangju City in Gyeongbuk Province transitioned to a deputy mayor acting system with Deputy Mayor Jeong Jin-hwan assuming authority following Mayor Kang Young-seok's registration as a preliminary candidate for the 8th nationwide simultaneous local elections for Sangju mayor on the 12th.

The current Local Autonomy Act stipulates that when a head of a local government runs for the local government head election while holding office, the deputy head shall act on behalf of the local government head from the day the preliminary candidate or candidate registers until the election day.

Accordingly, Deputy Mayor Jeong Jin-hwan will act with the mayor's authority until the local election is held on June 1.

Deputy Mayor Jeong Jin-hwan said, “During the absence of the head of the local government, I will do my best to ensure that the originally planned tasks proceed without disruption, that there is no administrative gap, and that no effort is spared in discovering new policies to secure future growth engines.”
