[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] Kang Seong-hwi, a preliminary candidate for the Democratic Party's mayoral election in Mokpo, Jeonnam, officially joined Kim Jongsik's campaign, signaling the start of full-scale activities.

According to Kim Jongsik's campaign office on the 11th, "Preliminary candidate Kang has agreed to work together for the victory of the Democratic Party candidate by taking on the roles of co-campaign committee chairman and special committee chairman for citizen integration."

On the same day, preliminary candidate Kang Seong-hwi expressed his determination, saying, "As a participant in the Democratic Party's Mokpo mayoral primary and a responsible party member, I will do my best and fulfill my role."

He continued, "I earnestly ask that the support you have given me be united under the Democratic Party," and explained his reason for joining, saying, "I will continue to work tirelessly for the development of Mokpo and the happiness of its citizens."

In response, Kim's camp decided to largely accept and reflect Kang's key pledges, including ▲introducing a 100-won bus fare for elementary school students ▲allocating high schools in Okam and Bujudong areas.

Additionally, Jo Yohan, another preliminary candidate who participated in the Democratic Party primary, will soon join the campaign, accelerating the expansion of the campaign's outreach.

Preliminary candidate Kim Jongsik stated, "The competition with the two relatively young candidates was a good experience for me and a blessing for Mokpo. I will work together so that the two candidates can grow as leaders of Mokpo," and added, "Regardless of whom we supported before, now we are one team. The united Democratic Party will not lose to anyone."
