5月2日，国民力量党提名最高委员梁香子为该党京畿道知事候选人，参加6月3日举行的地方选举。梁香子曾任三星电子高管，于2020年当选国会议员。她将在选举中对阵共同民主党议员秋美爱。
国民力量党于5月2日宣布，推选其最高委员梁香子作为京畿道知事候选人，角逐6月3日的地方选举。党内初选已于上周四至周五举行。
梁香子于1985年以职业高中毕业生的身份加入三星电子，并于2014年晋升为高管。她于2016年受时任共同民主党党首文在寅招揽进入政界，并于2020年当选国会议员。
京畿道是韩国人口最多的地区，拥有约1400万居民。梁香子将与共同民主党议员秋美爱展开竞争，后者是六届国会议员，也曾担任文在寅政府时期的法务部长官。
目前的关注焦点在于梁香子是否会与新改革党候选人赵应天进行整合。随着此次提名完成，国民力量党已确定了全国所有16个主要道、市长选举的候选人。如果梁香子或秋美爱胜选，她们中任何一人都将成为首位省级地方政府女性行政首长。
