The announcement was made by Ahn Gwang-ryul, the newly elected leader of the Democratic Party's provincial assembly delegation.

This reshuffle sees Electronic Young, representing Yongin 4, appointed as the chief spokesperson, while Kim Tae-hee, representing Ansan 2, will serve as the policy committee chair. A new role, the cooperation chief deputy leader, has been created and filled by Kim Hoe-cheol (Hwaseong 6), aiming to bolster collaboration with the executive branches, including the Gyeonggi Provincial Government and the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education.
