"Devoting Myself to Suncheon's Leap Toward an Economic City"

Honorable Son Hoonmo, the Democratic Party of Korea candidate, was elected as Mayor of Suncheon in the 9th nationwide local elections with 46.85% of the vote.


Mayor-elect Son demonstrated his strength by winning in Suncheon, a nationally watched battleground, against independent candidate Noh, who was seeking a 'stepping stone' fourth term and re-election.

Mayor-elect Son stated, "This is a victory for all citizens who called for an end to the old politics of division and conflict that have hurt Suncheon, and for the opening of a new era of communication and harmony. I will deeply engrave the passionate support and solemn mandate I received during the campaign in my heart and devote everything to helping Suncheon leap forward from an ecological city to an economic city."



He added, "I will surely make Suncheon a city where citizens are the true owners and a center of economic integration. I will become a mayor who unites everyone, moving beyond division and confrontation."
