Attorney Jeong Junho Officially Announces Candidacy for Gwangju Buk-gu Gap District in General Election

"Doubling the Value of Buk-gu"

Attorney Jeong Jun-ho (preliminary candidate for the National Assembly member of Gwangju Buk-gu Gap) officially declared his candidacy for the Gwangju Buk-gu Gap general election at the Gwangju Metropolitan Council on the 20th.

Preliminary candidate Jeong stated, "Next year's general election is a critical choice to regain resilience that was powerless against the tyranny of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration," and expressed his ambition by saying, "I will move forward with the citizens of Gwangju and the residents of Buk-gu to restore the abnormal Republic of Korea."

He continued, "Gwangju and Honam, which have prided themselves on being the political base of the Democratic Party of Korea, have suffered great wounds due to the weakened political reality," and strongly criticized the incumbent lawmakers, saying, "It has long been filled with the anger and distrust of Gwangju citizens toward the incumbents who have lost their presence, unable to speak properly on time and unable to fight well."

He also appealed for support, stating, "The political crisis in Honam is caused by entrenched politics that rely on constituencies and show neither innovation nor vision," and added, "We must replace them with figures who can present visions and strategies suited to the times and lead values."

Preliminary candidate Jeong presented a blueprint for Buk-gu under the slogan "Double the Value of Buk-gu." The plans include ▲restoration of Seobangcheon ecological stream to revitalize the Jungheung and Sinan-dong commercial districts ▲construction of a low-depth underground road connecting Seobang Market and Munheung IC ▲creation of an urban-type joint campus in front of Chonnam National University.

He added, "I will fulfill the role of a stepping stone where young talents from Gwangju and Honam can nurture their dreams and hopes, and become a representative young leader of Gwangju and Honam who creates a society where no one suffers from lack of academic, regional, or background ties, and where the socially vulnerable are not neglected."

Jeong Jun-ho, preliminary candidate for National Assembly member of Gwangju Buk-gu Gap, has challenged the National Assembly elections in Gwangju Buk-gu (Gap) three times since the 20th general election in 2016. In the last local election, he was the only young candidate for a local government head in Gwangju and Jeonnam and also served as a preliminary candidate for the Democratic Party of Korea’s mayor of Gwangju. He has held positions such as chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea Gwangju Metropolitan Party Buk-gu Gap regional committee, vice chairman of the policy committee, vice chairman of the legal committee, ethics judge of the Gwangju Metropolitan Party, and head of Organization Division 3 of the Lee Jae-myung presidential campaign Gwangju headquarters.
