Immediately after registering that day, preliminary candidate Lee stated, "Namyangju now stands before a historic golden time in which it can leap forward to become a city of 1 million people, but due to an unprepared municipal administration, it is failing to fully seize this opportunity," adding, "In this era of popular sovereignty, I will transform Namyangju into a city where residents are the true owners, and I will without fail realize a municipal administration that puts citizens' lives at its center."

He went on to say, "Although Namyangju has a geographical advantage as the center of the Seoul metropolitan area, it has not been able to fully demonstrate its potential in transportation, industry, and overall administration," diagnosing, "This is because the city has failed to properly establish its direction and priorities."

As the key direction for a new leap forward for Namyangju, preliminary candidate Lee proposed a "fivefold change." He stressed, "Through innovation across transportation, industry, administration, education, and culture, I will redesign Namyangju into the fastest-developing city," and added, "I will place promises made to citizens as my top priority and conduct a policy-centered campaign that seeks answers in the field."

In particular, he remarked, "The purpose of politics is not to maintain power, but to change citizens' lives," and added, "The transformation of Namyangju must be proven not by declarations but by execution."

Preliminary candidate Lee Wonho has built up policy experience connecting the central and local governments by serving as Special Advisor to the Party Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea and as an advisor to the Presidential Committee for Balanced National Development, and he has consistently spoken out to resolve transportation and urban issues directly linked to citizens' daily lives.

Meanwhile, preliminary candidate Lee plans to make his official candidacy declaration on the 25th at 10:00 a.m. at Gwanghwamun Square and at 2:00 p.m. in the small conference room of the Namyangju City Council. Beginning this declaration at Gwanghwamun Square, a symbolic space of democracy in the Republic of Korea, is expected to carry political significance in extending the flow of popular sovereignty at the national level into resident sovereignty in Namyangju.

Preliminary candidate Lee stated, "I will carry the power of democracy that began in the square into real change in Namyangju," and added, "Together with citizens, I will open a new era for Namyangju."
