Gyeongnam Governor-elect Park Wan-soo, re-elected for a second term, pledged to prioritize public livelihoods and foster new industries. He attributed his victory to the public's positive evaluation of his past four years and vowed to lead Gyeongnam with renewed passion, incorporating good policies from his opponent.
Park Wan-soo of the People Power Party has been re-elected as Gyeongnam Governor, pledging to realize his campaign slogan 'Gyeongnam Great Leap Forward' by strengthening welfare policies and transforming key industries.
Park Wan-soo, the governor-elect of Gyeongnam, is evaluated to have won the 9th National Simultaneous Local Elections by relying on his own strength, minimizing support from the People Power Party's central headquarters, and countering the Democratic Party's bid to reclaim the governorship with former provincial governor Kim Kyung-soo. Park emphasized his four-year track record of growth in population, economy, and resident welfare.
