He further stated, "I will firmly establish the 'Jeonnam-Gwangju citizen-sovereign government' where citizens are the true owners."

He also identified local economic recovery and the job market as key priorities.

Min said, "I will revive the stagnant regional industries and create quality jobs so that young people will not leave the city. I will lay a solid foundation for Jeonnam and Gwangju to leap forward once again."

He sent a message of unity to his primary rivals, including Kim Young-rok, Kang Gi-jung, Shin Jung-hoon, Joo Cheol-hyeon, and Jung Joon-ho.

Min said, "I am deeply grateful to all the candidates who competed alongside me. The competition is over, but the solidarity and cooperation for the future of Jeonnam and Gwangju begin now."

He added, "Every candidate is a valuable asset to Jeonnam and Gwangju. By integrating more broadly and uniting more deeply, we will jointly lead the great leap forward for Jeonnam and Gwangju."

Meanwhile, Min’s camp is expected to soon transition the primary campaign organization into an election committee and officially launch the general election campaign system.
