Local Election D-1, Kim Kyungsoo, Gyeongsangnam-do Governor Candidate: "Choose a Competent Governor Who Can Work with Lee Jaemyung"

On the evening of June 2, just one day before the 9th nationwide local elections, Kim Kyungsoo, the Democratic Party candidate for Governor of Gyeongsangnam-do, made a last-minute campaign appeal, calling for voters' support.

During his rally in front of the former Hanseo Hospital that day, Kim said, "Please help me revive Gyeongsangnam-do."

He stated, "This election is about deciding whether we move toward the future with Lee Jaemyung, Kim Kyungsoo, and Song Soonho, or return to the past with Park Geunhye, Lee Myungbak, Park Wansoo, and Kang Giyoon. It is also a decision between electing a competent governor and mayor or an incompetent governor and mayor."

He went on to say, "Please help a competent governor overcome the crisis facing Gyeongsangnam-do," arguing, "If you entrust the provincial administration to an incompetent governor, people's livelihoods will fall into hardship and crisis."

Kim emphasized, "This task cannot be accomplished by the power of the local government alone," adding, "We need a strong governor and a strong mayor who can work in tandem with a president determined to revitalize local regions."

He continued, "This election must make local regions the new growth engine of the Republic of Korea together with President Lee Jaemyung," and stressed, "Balanced regional development was the dream of President Roh Moo-hyun and a promise between him and myself."

He concluded, "Please help me keep my promise to President Roh and realize his dream," and called out, "Support Kim Kyungsoo so that local regions can thrive."
