Ahn Byung-yong's election office announced on the 25th that during a meeting with candidate Choo, she conveyed her encouragement and shared her expectations for the development and transformation of Uijeongbu.


The election office assessed that this show of support went beyond a simple gesture of encouragement, highlighting the potential for collaboration between the central, provincial, and local governments to resolve major issues facing Uijeongbu.


In particular, the cooperative framework involving President Lee Jaemyung, candidate Choo Mi-ae, and preliminary candidate Ahn Byung-yong is drawing attention, with expectations that this alliance could significantly strengthen policy implementation capabilities for addressing local issues.


There is also analysis that the 'Uijeongbu New Renaissance' vision proposed by Ahn Byung-yong is becoming increasingly feasible.


This is a comprehensive urban transformation strategy focused on the pillars of economy, transportation, and unification, and includes large-scale projects that require close cooperation between the central government and Gyeonggi Province.


Key initiatives include: 'state-led development of returned U.S. military bases,' 'early opening of the GTX-C line, extension of subway lines 7 and 8, and construction of a new East Uijeongbu Station,' 'promotion of culture, tourism, and sports industries based on the returned military sites,' 'establishment of a specialized children's hospital in Gosan-dong,' and 'advancing as a city of peace by restoring the Gyeongwon Line.'


Meanwhile, prominent figures from various sectors continue to join Ahn Byung-yong's campaign.


Actor Lee Ki-young, known as a political ally of President Lee Jaemyung, has taken on the role of Honorary Head of the Election Committee, while Song Young-gil, former Democratic Party leader, is participating as Honorary Chair of the Supporters' Association.


Former preliminary candidate Oh Seok-gyu is serving as Co-Head of the Election Headquarters, and former preliminary candidate Supporters' Association Chairs Yoo Dae-seok and Jeong Jin-ho have joined as Honorary Chairs, signaling a broad coalition encompassing central politics, local communities, and the younger generation.



Ahn Byung-yong stated, "Candidate Choo's support is a strong commitment to sharing responsibility for Uijeongbu's future," adding, "If we combine policy cooperation with President Lee Jaemyung, candidate Choo's administrative ability, and the choice of our citizens, the Uijeongbu New Renaissance will surely become a reality."
