Jo Dongjun, a preliminary candidate for the Chungnam Provincial Council and former chairman of the Seocheon County Council, announced his return to the June 3 local elections, putting "Response to Local Disappearance and Chungnam-style Basic Income" at the forefront of his campaign.


The Democratic Party of Korea is focusing on rallying as a "one team" centered around Yoo Seungkwang, the candidate for Seocheon County Mayor, aiming to solidify its position in Boryeong and Seocheon.


On April 12, preliminary council candidate Jo held the opening ceremony of his election campaign office and stated, "As a politician who combines field experience and policy expertise, I will drive change for Seocheon in a larger Chungnam."


He then identified local extinction as a core agenda item, saying, "The issue of disappearing regions is a structural challenge directly linked to the survival of the nation," and asserted, "Chungnam-style basic income should be introduced first in areas at risk of extinction."


He particularly emphasized, "Politics is not about what you become, but about what you do," and added, "Using victory in the local elections as a foothold, I will change the political landscape of Boryeong and Seocheon."


He also criticized Chungnam Governor Kim Taeheum and the People Power Party regarding the Chungnam-Daejeon administrative integration, stating, "They have turned away from an opportunity themselves."


Yoo Seungkwang, the Seocheon County Mayor candidate, said, "Jo Dongjun is the most prepared person who knows Seocheon's circumstances better than anyone else. If he runs, Seocheon will change. This election is a turning point for Seocheon's development," expressing his support.



Meanwhile, the event on April 12 was attended by former Boryeong-Seocheon regional chairman Shin Hyunseong, provincial council member Jeon Ikhyeon, as well as Democratic Party local election candidates and supporters, demonstrating their show of unity.
