Final Finals Begin...Urgent Appeal to Citizens Announced

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] From today, Heo Seok, the final candidate for Suncheon mayor (Democratic Party), who is competing in the final runoff, issued an urgent appeal on the 4th, stating, "Candidate Oh Ha-geun should stop baseless negative campaigning."

In the appeal, candidate Heo said, "In a primary that should be fair, suspicions have been raised about the leakage of the list of party members' rights to candidate Oh's side, disturbing the clean election atmosphere," and added, "There are reports that Assemblyman So Byung-chul is making calls to city and provincial council candidates and heads of institutions to support candidate Oh, but I believe this is not true."

He continued, "Candidate Oh has been polluting and muddying the election with false information in two broadcast debates and messages sent this morning," warning, "Legal action will be taken against baseless allegations."

Finally, he appealed, "Now, please wisely judge who is the candidate that will lead Suncheon’s administration cleanly and well."

The Democratic Party's final runoff vote for Suncheon mayor will decide the final candidate through a public opinion poll with 50% party members' rights today and 50% general citizens tomorrow.

Meanwhile, candidate Heo Seok is from Haeryong-myeon, Suncheon, graduated from Suncheon High School and Seoul National University with a degree in economics, and has served as director of the Labor Issues Research Institute that opens the dawn, and co-chairman of the Jeonnam joint election committee for presidential candidate Moon Jae-in.

In the 2018 Suncheon mayoral election, he was the only Democratic Party mayoral candidate elected in the three cities of the eastern Jeonnam region and is currently serving as the 7th elected mayor of Suncheon.
