On April 16, Lee Wonho, Yoon Yongsu, and Kim Jihun held a press conference in the small conference room of the Namyangju City Council, declaring a policy alliance for the future of Namyangju. Putting aside personal regrets, they agreed to rally their efforts around Lee Wonho, prioritizing the greater cause of concrete change and development for Namyangju.


Under this policy alliance, Lee has decided to adopt the core pledges of the other two candidates as his own. He plans to make Yoon Yongsu's regulatory reform and welfare policies central pillars of city administration, while actively incorporating Kim Jihun's growth vision and self-sufficient city strategy to accelerate the blueprint for Namyangju's future.


Local political circles see this policy alliance as a powerful driving force that combines Lee’s determination with Yoon’s administrative innovation and Kim’s self-sustaining growth strategy. There is particular focus on how previously dispersed Democratic Party votes are now consolidating around Lee, tilting the balance of the primary race sharply in his favor.


Candidate Lee defined this alliance as “not merely a union, but a crucible that brings together the diverse voices of Namyangju’s citizens.” He added, “With the solid unity among the three of us, we will secure an overwhelming victory in the main primary and reward citizens by making Namyangju an even better place to live.”



Meanwhile, the Democratic Party’s Namyangju mayoral public participation primary will be held over two days, from Saturday, April 18 to Sunday, April 19, via an ARS voting system.
