Yoo argued that the coalition&#8217;s bylaws and candidate-selection rules require combining member votes with a provincewide resident poll; there is no provision allowing a poll that targets only a subset of residents.<\/p>\n<p>Yoo accused the election committee of pushing a procedure never used in selecting progressive superintendents in Seoul or Gyeonggi, even to the point of violating the coalition&#8217;s own bylaws and rules. She said she would accept the primary rules but insisted that the administration of the process must be fair and transparent.<\/p>\n<p>Yoo also expressed strong regret over promotional material circulated by a particular campaign, saying the leaflet omitted the fact that she ranked first in the overall poll and instead emphasized her support among conservative voters, thereby mischaracterizing her as a conservative candidate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m ahead among centrist voters, and when you combine progressives and centrists I&#8217;m among the front-runners,&#8221; Yoo said. &#8220;High conservative support indicates broad appeal. Presenting that with sensational imagery to paint me with partisan colors is unacceptable in a 21st-century superintendent election.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She singled out candidate An Min-seok, saying, &#8220;As a five-term Democratic Party lawmaker, he knows how the democratic camp has suffered from color politics. I am not only embarrassed \u2014 I am ashamed \u2014 that he would resort to such anachronistic tactics,&#8221; and called for an immediate apology.<\/p>\n<p>Yoo asked whether it can be called education or democracy when campaigns that cannot compete on policy instead use color-based attacks and stigmatizing imagery. She went on to ask rhetorically, &#8220;Where is democracy here? Where is progressivism? Where is education?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She demanded that the coalition&#8217;s election committee take responsible action under its rules against the spread of false information and any acts that undermine a fair election, and pressed for measures that residents can accept to be implemented within the week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gyeonggi education does not belong to any individual; it belongs to the residents,&#8221; Yoo said. &#8220;I will adhere to democratic principles and fair competition to the end, and together with the residents I will win openly and on principle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Suwon
