Seoul Gangseo-gu, Transition to Acting Authority System with Deputy Mayor Park Dae-woo

Acting Authority System Operated Until the Next District Mayor Takes Office Following the By-election

Park Dae-woo, Acting Authority: “All staff will unite to operate district administration without any gaps to prevent confusion among residents”

From the 18th, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, has transitioned to an acting authority system under Deputy District Mayor Park Dae-woo.

The district announced that following District Mayor Kim Tae-woo’s loss of office due to the Supreme Court ruling, Deputy District Mayor Park Dae-woo will act on behalf of the mayor and lead the district administration until the next district mayor is elected in the by-election and takes office.

According to the Local Autonomy Act, when a local government head position becomes vacant, the deputy head is mandated to act on behalf of the head.

On the 18th at 1:30 PM, Acting Authority Park convened an emergency meeting with district office executives, ordering measures to prevent administrative gaps and to establish public service discipline among employees.

Acting Authority Park stated, “The major projects planned for this year will proceed without disruption,” adding, “All staff will unite to operate the district administration steadily so that residents do not experience any confusion.”

Park Dae-woo, who assumed the role of Deputy District Mayor on August 8 last year and is now Acting Authority, is recognized as an administrative expert with outstanding capabilities, having served as Financial Planning Officer at the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Planning and Coordination Office, Deputy District Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, and Economic Job Planning Officer at the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Economic Policy Office.
