Gyeonggi Province's Second Term Coalition Government Enters Main Track... Four Coalition Committee Chairs Inaugurated

The Gyeonggi Province coalition government, which opened its second chapter in September, enters the main track with the inauguration of four coalition committee chairs.

The province held an appointment ceremony on the morning of the 26th and presented certificates of appointment to four coalition committee chairs.

Four Gyeonggi Province council members were appointed as coalition committee chairs: Kim Seung-nam (Yangpyeong), Han Gil-ryong (Paju, both from the Democratic Party), and Yang Geun-seo (Ansan), Kim Dal-su (Goyang, both from the Bareun Party), with two members recommended by each party from the Gyeonggi Province Council.

The coalition committee chairs maintain cooperative systems between the standing committees of the Gyeonggi Province Council and the province's executive departments and agencies to ensure smooth implementation of coalition projects, and serve an advisory role in implementation plans for relevant coalition projects.

1st Coalition Committee Chair Kim Seung-nam oversees coalition projects under the purview of the Legislative Operations Committee, the Budget and Finance Committee, and the Public Administration and Safety Committee. 2nd Coalition Committee Chair Han Gil-ryong oversees coalition projects under the Economic Science and Technology Committee and the Agriculture, Marine and Fisheries Committee.

3rd Coalition Committee Chair Yang Geun-seo oversees coalition projects under the Construction and Transportation Committee and the Urban and Environmental Committee, while 4th Coalition Committee Chair Kim Dal-su oversees coalition policies under the purview of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee, the Health and Welfare Committee, and the Women, Family and Education Committee.

On that day, Governor Nam Kyung-pil held a meeting with the coalition committee chairs, vice governor for coalition affairs, and administrative vice governors after the appointment ceremony. He conveyed his intention to actively support the smooth implementation of 288 coalition projects under the coalition agreement and stressed the need for the coalition committee chairs to play an active role in the success of the Gyeonggi coalition government.

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi Province plans to hold the Gyeonggi Province Coalition Government Executive Committee on November 8, when the Basic Ordinance on the Gyeonggi Province Consensual Coalition Government goes into effect, and will take the first step in implementing 288 civil welfare coalition projects.
