Over 500 people, including Woo Sunhee, the Yeongam County head candidate, city and county council candidates from the Democratic Party, supporters, and campaign staff, gathered at the rally to demonstrate unity and consolidate support.


The Democratic Party candidates framed this local election as "an opportunity to evaluate the first year of the Lee Jaemyung administration" and reaffirmed their determination to deliver overwhelming victory by turning all of Yeongam blue, the symbolic color of the party, thereby strengthening the new government.


Taking the stage, Woo Sunhee, the Democratic Party candidate for Yeongam County head, introduced campaign staff of Min Hyungbae, the candidate for Special Mayor of Jeonnam-Gwangju, and appealed for support. She also individually introduced each city and county council candidate and their constituencies, emphasizing the spirit of teamwork.


Woo stated, "Over the past four years, by working like President Lee Jaemyung, we have achieved the greatest results of the local era," and added, "This was possible thanks to the support from the residents."


She continued, "There is still much work to be done in the daily lives of our citizens," and appealed, "In this era of competition where stopping means falling behind, please create an overwhelming momentum for the Democratic Party candidates, who possess capable leadership."


In particular, Woo emphasized, "Together with the Lee Jaemyung administration and the Jeonnam-Gwangju Special City, we will develop Yeongam into the central city of the southwest region," and highlighted, "We will achieve even greater results so that the changes in regional development and residents' lives are truly felt."


After the kickoff rally, the Democratic Party candidates moved to Woo Sunhee’s campaign office, where they held a meeting with National Assembly member Seo Samsuk to discuss unified campaign strategies and ways to strengthen their organizational solidarity.


Assemblyman Seo stressed, "It is important to conduct grassroots, lifestyle-focused campaigns that reach every corner of the community," and urged, "Taking into account the busy farming season, please refrain from excessive use of loudspeakers and carry out campaigns that connect closely with residents."


He added, "Please clearly convey to the residents the effectiveness of the people's government that was born after overcoming turmoil," and emphasized, "Support must be garnered by focusing on changes and hope that residents can tangibly experience."



The Democratic Party’s “One Team” candidates for Yeongam are scheduled to move to Samho-eup later in the afternoon to continue their joint campaign efforts, officially starting their appeal to voters.
