[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The opening ceremony of the election office for Jo Seongcheol, the Democratic Party of Korea's preliminary candidate for Hampyeong County Governor, is scheduled to take place on the 16th.


According to election office officials on the 15th, the opening worship will begin at 10 a.m. on the 16th, followed by the main event starting at 2 p.m.


Preliminary candidate Jo said, “On the 13th, I held a press conference to announce my candidacy and have been meeting voters under the slogan ‘A New Hampyeong, a Young and Capable Worker.’ I will leverage my experience working in various government departments to communicate with the residents of Hampyeong and lead regional development.”


He continued, “Hampyeong has been continuously losing population and is now facing the crisis of regional extinction, for which the political sphere bears responsibility. A capable worker is needed for Hampyeong’s new leap forward,” he emphasized.


Finally, he stated, “Conflicts and divisions are intensifying due to overheated competition during the election process. At a time when all regional capabilities must be gathered, politics must not again incite division and conflict.”


Among the six Democratic Party candidates for Hampyeong County Governor in the election scheduled for June 1 (Kim Youngso, Ok Buho, Jeong Munho, Im Yongsu, Jo Seongcheol, and Kim Seongchan), Jo Seongcheol was selected as the single candidate, raising expectations for a change in election culture that reduces conflict and discord.


The five candidates who ran for Hampyeong County Governor willingly accepted the unification result and are now serving as election strategy committee chairs to support the election of single candidate Jo Seongcheol, working to establish a clean and fair election culture in Hampyeong.



The opening ceremony will proceed in the order of screening an introduction video of candidate Jo Seongcheol, the candidate’s greeting, and congratulatory messages.
