The preliminary candidates who participated in the Democratic Party of Korea's primary for Changwon Special Mayor of Gyeongnam have entered the 'One Team' system, rallying around Song Soonho, the final candidate.

On April 23, Song Soonho, the final preliminary candidate, along with Kim Kiwoon, Kim Myungyong, and Lee Okseon, held a press conference at the City Hall Press Center, stating, "After a fiercely contested primary, we have come together without hesitation in the face of our urgent goals of normalizing Changwon city administration and achieving a greater leap forward for Changwon."

In their joint declaration, they said, "The policies and pledges presented during the primary will be faithfully incorporated into Candidate Song's pledges, leading to stronger and more substantial policies for the citizens of Changwon. We will combine our experience and wisdom and work together until the end for victory in the main election and to achieve our shared goal of change in Changwon."

They continued, "As livelihood issues are piling up, the city administration has come to a halt, and the resulting damage is being borne entirely by the citizens. The valuable time of Changwon should no longer be held back by the mistakes of previous administrations and irresponsible, outdated politics."

They added, "Today's launch of the Democratic Party of Korea's One Team is not just a declaration; it will become the greatest force to overcome Changwon's crisis and create new changes before it is too late. We will remain by the citizens' side and work to get Changwon moving again, following the will of the people, until the very end."

Song expressed his gratitude for the unity and determination of the three candidates, stating, "I will prove that intention by delivering results that truly change the lives of our citizens."

He also pledged, "I will work even harder from the ground up, ensuring that Changwon can move forward again before it is too late."

Starting today, candidates Kim Kiwoon, Kim Myungyong, and Lee Okseon will serve as senior co-chairs of the election campaign committee for Song Soonho's camp, focusing their election activities on Uichang-gu, Masan Hoewon-gu, and Masan Happo-gu.
