Meanwhile, the Pan-Civil Society Alliance, which leads the "June 3 Local Election Citizens' Voters Movement Headquarters" (Voters Movement Headquarters) comprised of civic society, professional groups, and experts, selected Kwon Sungi as the "Good Superintendent Candidate." They cited his extensive field experience and his capabilities to ensure the stable normalization of Gyeongnam education, especially as he was chosen as a single candidate through the consolidation of conservative and centrist candidates.
