After being granted the ticket to the general election by the People Power Party’s Nomination Committee, Son stated immediately following the confirmation of his candidacy, “I feel a heavy sense of responsibility for being chosen by the county residents and party members,” and added, “I will steadfastly complete the major projects that have been underway, and will further strengthen Uljin’s future growth engines.”


This confirmation of Son’s candidacy is interpreted as a result of his stable management of county affairs and his ability to address local issues, which have been recognized both inside and outside the party, beyond the advantages typically given to incumbents.


In particular, building a sustainable foundation for development across all areas of county administration—including revitalizing tourism in Uljin, restoring the local economy, improving settlement conditions, and strengthening the competitiveness of agriculture and fisheries—appears to have contributed to his competitiveness.


Within local political circles, it is anticipated that candidate Son will highlight his suitability as the “right person to continue delivering results” in the general election.


Additionally, there are expectations that his campaign strategy will focus on leveraging administrative continuity to drive forward major pending issues and to concretize Uljin’s future growth drivers.


Candidate Son emphasized, “The election is not just a competition, but an important decision that will determine Uljin’s next four years,” and added, “I will respond with changes that residents can truly feel and with tangible results that lead to real growth for the region.” He continued, “With greater humility, I will listen to the voices of the residents, and with a deeper sense of responsibility, I will lead Uljin toward a new leap forward.”


With this confirmation of candidacy, the outline of the Uljin County Governor election is now taking shape. Candidate Son is expected to highlight both the achievements of the current county administration and his vision for the future during the general election, aiming to solidify his base of support and expand into the moderate electorate.



Both inside and outside political circles, it is believed that this Uljin County Governor election will go beyond a simple contest of personalities and will feature fierce competition over the direction of regional development, administrative stability, and the feasibility of future visions.
