Kwon Hyuk-gi Running for Uijeongbu... "Developing into a Northern Seoul Metropolitan Area Landmark"

Kwon Hyuk-ki, Chief of Political Planning at the Democratic Party of Korea, officially announced his candidacy for the Gyeonggi-do Uijeongbu-eul primary election on the 7th. Kwon promised to "develop Uijeongbu into a landmark city in the northern metropolitan area."

On the same day, Kwon declared his candidacy for the Democratic Party primary at the Uijeongbu City Hall press room. He emphasized his blueprint and capabilities for realizing Northern Gyeonggi Province. He stated, "I will make it a new city that leads the future development of northern Gyeonggi," adding, "There is no national vision for balanced development, and the Yoon Seok-yeol administration’s complacent perception cannot bring about the development that Uijeongbu desperately needs. Innovative thinking drives change and creates hope." Kwon introduced himself by saying, "Having worked for over 20 years in the National Assembly and the central party, I am trained to mediate disagreements and create compromises among regions, classes, and interest groups," and "With two stints at the Blue House and central government, I have the network to get things done."

He continued, "This is exactly why the Democratic Party recommended me as the candidate for the Uijeongbu-eul primary," promising the establishment of Northern Gyeonggi Province and development of Uijeongbu.

Kwon also stressed the necessity of judging the current administration. He remarked, "The memory of peeling tangerines with my family while chatting after buying a whole box is becoming a distant memory amid endless high prices," and criticized, "The bleak economic outlook is worsening, and more seriously, the government and ruling party lack not only the ability but also the will to solve the economic crisis."

Meanwhile, Kwon revealed that he is walking the political journey alongside Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party leader. Kwon said, "Despite experiencing judicial murder and political terror, Leader Lee Jae-myung stands firmly at the forefront," and added, "I will stand with Leader Lee."
