[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Chunsu] Independent candidate Kim Gisuk for Damyang County Governor announced on the 26th that on the 25th at 12:30 PM, he made a heartfelt appeal to turn the tide in the final stage, with the support of former Damyang County Governor preliminary candidate Choi Hwasam and a support speech by his daughter, among about 500 market merchants and county residents gathered at Changpyeong Market.
Independent candidate Kim Gisuk presented concrete pledges such as establishing a youth allowance for youth self-development, encouraging marriage grants, and increasing newborn childcare expenses, differentiating his strategy from the Democratic Party's list-style pledges, and expressed gratitude to the county residents who did not withhold their support and encouragement at every campaign venue.
Kim’s daughter, in a support speech, said, “I have always respected my father's honesty and integrity, and he has been a strong pillar and supporter of our family,” and earnestly appealed, “He cannot be compared to those who try to dominate elections with money and power. Please allow my father to realize fair county administration.”
Former Damyang County Governor preliminary candidate Choi Hwasam condemned the Democratic Party’s arrogance and unfair primary process, expressing disappointment toward the Democratic Party that discarded him, who has lived uprightly as a 40-year Democratic Party member, like a used item, and urged support, saying, “Only the truly fresh and clean candidate Kim Gisuk can lead the county administration well.”
