Busangil "Final Challenge... Running for Jeju-si Eul By-election"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Chang-won] Bu Sang-il, former head of the People Power Party's Jeju-si Eul district committee, is aiming for a National Assembly 'gold badge.'

Democratic Party lawmaker Oh Young-hoon resigned to run for governor of Jeju Province, leaving the seat in the constituency vacant, prompting Bu to throw his hat into the ring. Including this attempt, it will be his fourth challenge, drawing attention to whether he can enter the Yeouido stage.

On the afternoon of the 29th, Bu held a press conference at the Jeju Provincial Council Citizen Cafe and stated, "With the by-election in Jeju-si Eul district becoming certain, I clearly declare my intention to run for the National Assembly election."

He said, "Having had a painful experience in the April 2020 general election, I have continuously engaged with and paid attention to the issues of our region," adding, "There are many things I sincerely want to do for Jeju Province and its residents."

He also emphasized, "Looking back on my political career over the years, there were many parts to reflect on and areas where I was lacking, but my determination to work properly for Jeju and its residents has never wavered."

He stated, "Once the Central Election Commission confirms Jeju-si Eul as a by-election district, I will proceed with announcing my candidacy and unveiling prepared policies."
