Lee Jin-sook, former chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, will officially declare his candidacy for mayor of Daegu on the 12th.
According to former Korea Communications Commission Chairman Lee on the 11th, former Korea Communications Commission Chairman Lee plans to officially declare his candidacy for mayor of Daegu at the National Debt Compensation Park in Jung-gu, Daegu on the afternoon of the 12th.
After declaring his candidacy for Daegu mayor, former Korea Communications Commission Chairman Lee plans to move to the Daegu City Party of the People Power Party and hold a press conference.
Previously, on the 9th, former Korea Communications Commission Chairman Lee held a book concert and a book concert for the publication of his book ‘The Majestic Lee Jin-sook’ at the Grand Hotel in Suseong-gu, Daegu, and showed his de facto candidacy for the Daegu mayoral race in the June 3 local elections of the People Power Party.
Just before the event, former Korea Communications Commission Chairman Lee mentioned election laws when asked by reporters, “Do you have any plans to run for mayor of Daegu?” and refrained from saying, “Plans are always changing, but it is not appropriate to speak at this time.”
However, a close associate of former Chairman Lee effectively acknowledged his candidacy, saying to reporters at the time, “If you don’t run for mayor of Daegu, why would you hold an event like this in Daegu?”
Also, regarding the possibility of running for the integrated special mayor if Daegu-Gyeongbuk administrative integration occurs, he said, “Of course I will run,” adding, “However, that is only possible when the law is improved, so for now, I am only looking at the mayor of Daegu.”[대구=뉴시스]
