Kim Dong-yeon "Actively Welcomes Jo Guk Innovation Party's Open Primary Proposal"

Kim Dong-yeon, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, expressed strong support for the Open Primary proposal by the Joguk Innovation Party.

On the 4th, Governor Kim posted on his social media (SNS), saying, "I have consistently advocated for creating a coalition of light and a majority alliance," and added, "I recently proposed an electoral alliance and a joint government during a meeting with Representative Lee Jae-myung."

He continued, "The Joguk Innovation Party's proposal will be a significant step toward forming a majority alliance," emphasizing, "Despite internal conflicts, many citizens are concerned about regime change. The Open Primary is a sure way to enhance candidate competitiveness and create a prevailing trend."

He also said, "The idea of voting on pledges is refreshing," and added, "I believe it will create a new arena for competition based on vision and policies. If possible, the National Election Commission could be entrusted with election administration to ensure transparent and fair primaries."

In particular, he urged, "I call for active discussions and prompt decisions from the Democratic Party," and insisted, "A grand decision to relinquish vested interests is necessary for an overwhelming regime change."

Earlier that day, the Joguk Innovation Party proposed a presidential open primary under the name "People's Sovereignty Arena 2025." This is a complete national primary involving all opposition party presidential candidates, featuring ▲ unlimited participation of opposition candidates ▲ a three-stage runoff voting system ▲ people-led decision-making ▲ and an online voting system.

However, some argue that the gap between Representative Lee Jae-myung and other presidential candidates across parties exceeds the margin of error, and with a projected vote share in the 50% range, it is uncertain whether Representative Lee will accept the Open Primary.
