Park Nocham, Democratic Party of Korea prospective candidate for Seocheon County Councilor, held an opening ceremony for his election office on the 11th and announced his challenge for a third term.

Park Nochan, a preliminary candidate for Seocheon County Council from the Democratic Party of Korea, has declared his return to the political frontlines after an eight-year hiatus. He held an opening ceremony for his campaign office and announced his bid for a third term.

He unveiled climate crisis response and the introduction of basic income as his key agendas, signaling a policy-driven campaign.

At the campaign office opening ceremony on the 11th, Park Nochan (candidate for Constituency A) expressed his determination to return to the council, stating, "I will play a role in implementing the executive branch's policies through the enactment and revision of ordinances."

A two-term former member of the 6th and 7th Seocheon County Council, he is making a full-scale comeback to politics eight years after running for county governor in the 2018 local elections.

Last month, he secured the Democratic Party’s nomination for Constituency A as candidate number 1-Na and adopted the slogan "A Reliable County Council Member."

The opening ceremony was attended by Democratic Party figures and supporters, including Na Soyul, former preliminary candidate for South Chungcheong Governor, Yu Seungkwang, candidate for Seocheon County Governor, and Jeon Ikhyun, provincial assembly member.

Park emphasized, "Responding to the climate crisis and renewable energy is a challenge at the local level," and added, "I will implement tangible policies through the council."

He especially highlighted that "basic income is the starting point for a virtuous cycle in the local economy," stressing his commitment to institutionalize it through the enactment and revision of related ordinances.

Park further stated, "The council should serve as a 'two-horse carriage,' designing and supplementing policies together with the executive branch," and pledged to build a council that discovers and delivers policies closely linked to the lives of residents.
