As a candidate for Busan mayor representing the People Power Party, I must stress the critical need for unity in the upcoming Buk-gu by-election. The current political climate, marked by the 'Lee Jae-myung administration's rampage,' demands a decisive response. Our immediate priority must be to end the divisions within our own ranks, starting with Buk-gu, and take the first step towards a unified front.

We must end the division starting in Buk-gu and take the first step towards unity.

This is not merely about winning a local election; it's about safeguarding Busan's future and preventing the unchecked power of the current administration. The people of Busan deserve a government that prioritizes their needs and aspirations, not one that steamrolls over them. A divided approach will only lead to defeat and further empower those who do not have Busan's best interests at heart.

To block the rampage of the Lee Jae-myung administration and ensure victory in the Busan election, we must end the division starting in Buk-gu and take the first step towards unity.

Let us work together to ensure a victory that reflects the will of the people and sets Busan on a path of progress and prosperity. This is our chance to show that we can overcome challenges through collaboration and a shared vision for our city.
