[Sinan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] The Democratic Party of Korea has finalized the nomination of Park Woo-ryang as the candidate for Sinan County Governor in Jeonnam.
On the 11th, the party's Emergency Response Committee reviewed Park's eligibility for nomination and decided to maintain his qualification as the candidate for Sinan County Governor.
It was reported that Park's eligibility was confirmed considering that he has no record of the seven major corruptions defined by criminal law rather than election law, that there is legal dispute regarding preferential hiring, and that his sentence has not been finalized.
Additionally, it appears that Park's high competitiveness and lack of rivals within the region were also taken into account.
Park Woo-ryang stated, "Since the main election is still ahead, even though I have received the nomination, I will not be complacent and will focus solely on the residents, doing my best until the very end."
