On the 17th, Jeong Sunwook, who was confirmed as the Democratic Party candidate for Uiwang mayor, visited Namyangju to encourage preliminary candidate Choi Hyunduk. Jeong is a key confidant of President Lee Jaemyung, having served for two and a half years as chief of staff during Lee’s tenure as governor of Gyeonggi Province, and is known for having closely assisted with Lee’s administrative philosophy.

Notably, Jeong recently attracted public attention when a photo of his unexpected encounter with President Lee Jaemyung during Lee’s visit to the Uiwang Railway Logistics Base was released. Within the party, Jeong’s visit is seen as a symbolic gesture—‘Lee Jaemyung’s chief of staff’ Jeong Sunwook passing on the spirit of victory to ‘Lee Jaemyung’s administrator’ Choi Hyunduk.

Meanwhile, both candidates pledged that they would “ensure victory and support President Lee Jaemyung’s people’s sovereignty government.”

Previously, on the 16th, Lee Woojong, former senior vice chairman of the Democratic Party’s Gyeonggi Provincial Party, made a surprise visit to the campaign office and declared his support. As a veteran who once oversaw the party’s organization in Gyeonggi, Lee’s visit is being seen as a major catalyst for uniting Democratic Party members in Namyangju.

Additionally, at 3 p.m. today, the leadership of the Gyeonggi Provincial Party’s Silver Committee made a large-scale endorsement. The declaration included participation from over ten senior and key officials of the party, including Yoo Pyungsik, Secretary General of the Silver Committee, Kim Hyunjun, former head of the 5·18 Gyeonggi Chapter, Kim Kyungsoo, chief director, and Ryu Haein, senior vice chairman of the party’s central committee.

The Silver Committee stated, “Choi Hyunduk, with his extensive administrative experience and integrity, is the right person to lead the uninterrupted development of Namyangju,” adding, “We will dedicate all our capabilities to securing victory in the primary.”

Choi Hyunduk remarked, “Having comrades who led Gyeonggi’s administration together with President Lee Jaemyung come to personally offer their support feels like gaining a thousand reinforcements,” emphasizing, “With the winning spirit of Jeong Sunwook and the organizational strength of the Silver Committee, I will definitely win the main primary and become the standard-bearer for reclaiming Namyangju.”
