Gwangju City Council members Myung Jin, Lee Gwisoon, and Shin Sujeong have been selected as winners in the "Outstanding Ordinance" category of the 2024 Local Councilor Manifesto Promise Awards. The Korea Manifesto Implementation Headquarters held the award ceremony at 2 p.m. on the 27th at Yeongdeungpo Art Hall in Seoul, presenting the Grand Prize in the "Outstanding Ordinance" category to Myung Jin, and Excellence Awards to Lee Gwisoon and Shin Sujeong.

Myung Jin (The Minjoo Party, Seo-gu 2) was highly evaluated for creating conditions necessary for families and society to fulfill their responsibilities toward youth caregivers through the "Gwangju City Family Care Youth and Young Adult Support Ordinance." The ordinance also established a separate support basis for vulnerable groups when formulating youth policies and specifically stipulated self-reliance support measures such as emergency medical care, health management, education, daily life, and housing support for caregiving families, thereby contributing to stability and welfare improvement.

Lee Gwisoon (The Minjoo Party, Gwangsan 4) was recognized for ensuring the right to equal education according to ability and aptitude and providing continuous learning opportunities to students at alternative education institutions through the "Gwangju City Office of Education Alternative Education Institution Support Ordinance."

Shin Sujeong (The Minjoo Party, Buk-gu 3) was acknowledged for contributing to improving integrity and preventing corruption in the representative organizations of Gwangju citizens?the City Council, City Hall, and City Office of Education?through the "Gwangju City Council Integrity Improvement Ordinance," the "Gwangju City Integrity Improvement and Anti-Corruption Basic Ordinance," and the "Gwangju City Office of Education Integrity Improvement and Anti-Corruption Ordinance."

Now in its 16th year, the "Local Councilor Manifesto Promise Awards" is hosted annually by the Korea Manifesto Implementation Headquarters to strengthen the capabilities of local councils and build a foundation of public trust. This year, as in previous years, local councilors nationwide were invited to apply in the areas of pledge implementation and outstanding ordinances, with winners selected through a rigorous review process.
