On the first day of the official election campaign for Yeonggwang-gun County, all-out campaigning at the central party level began, centering on the general bus terminal.
First of all, Democratic Party candidate Jang Sae-il made a pledge to create a "health welfare town" for the elderly in line with the super-aged society.
It also said it will expand the agricultural product price guarantee system and promote experience and stay-at-home tourism attraction projects.

Candidate Jang Hyun of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party promised to become a clean county chief without corruption and solicitation, such as installing CCTVs in the county office.
It also announced that it would attract large companies and data centers and create a job-rich honor.
[Jang Hyun / Candidate for Yeonggwang County, Cho Kuk Innovation Party: I have a lot of preparations in the meantime. It is a ready worker who can do local work, including administration, public institutions, social organizations, and the media.
Progressive Party candidate Lee Seok-ha plans to push for the establishment of a "our village nursing home" for the west coast railway and local seniors.
It also promised to establish a public hospital for children to ease concerns about childcare in a poor medical environment.
[Lee Seok-ha / Progressive Party candidate for Yeonggwang-gun: 52,000 county residents live in Yeonggwang-gun. For those who have protected this place, those who have protected it, and those who will protect it, I will give my whole life to the military government.
In addition, independent candidate Oh Ki-won is appealing for votes, saying he will realize transparent administration.
A recent poll found that all three candidates, except for independent candidates, had early 30% approval ratings, making it a close race within the margin of error.
Competition to take the lead in an ultra-close situation has intensified, leading to a complaint.
