A public opinion poll to determine a single candidate for opposition for the 4·7 mayoral by-election begins on the 22nd.
As the unification of opposition powers that went through the past process enters a full-scale countdown, Candidate Se-hoon Oh and National Party Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo are expected to embark on a fierce game without retreating until a single candidate is decided.
The two parties’ working-level negotiation team decided to announce a single candidate on the 23rd as early as the 23rd and at the latest on the 24th after polling on the 22nd and 23rd through the 9th meeting on the previous day (21st).
This unification is an important battleground that both candidates cannot give in any way.
Candidate Oh, who left the Seoul City Hall after taking a vote for the free meal service in 2011, was defeated by Democratic Party lawmaker Gom Gom Jeong-jung in the general election last year, but got a chance to come back.
If he is defeated by Ahn, he will have no choice but to be hit by his dream of restarting his political life, and the power of the people will also suffer a big aftermath that he could not be a candidate as the first opposition party.
The power of the people is that even after the’Kim Jong-in Emergency Response Committee System’, which made the party renewal a top priority after the defeat of the general election last year, was inaugurated, it could not be a suicide candidate in this by-election, which is the total settlement for a year.
In this case, it is expected that a demand for reorganization of power will erupt ahead of the election of a new leadership in the opposition. Candidate Oh, who dreamed of becoming a president, is also expected to have a strong voice asking for the responsibility.
For Candidate Ahn, this unification is an important game that took a life of politics. He mentioned several times as he passed the election process, “I gave up the presidential election.”
In particular, Candidate Ahn also spoke of the people’s strength and’worthlessness without conditions’. Whether it is a single candidate for the opposition or not, it will promote the people’s strength and worthiness for a’bigger opposition’.
If he loses to Candidate Oh, Candidate Ahn loses his justification for the presidential election. Even though they were defeated in the unification of the opposition in the Seoul Mayor’s election, it is difficult to avoid the question of whether they are competitive in the presidential election.
It has been said that it will promote worthy of the people’s strength, but it is unknown whether this process will be smooth. It is true that the three-seat National Assembly and the 102-seat people’s power unite as a’party-to-party’, and there is a high possibility that there will be a demand for Ahn to’bow down and enter’.
If the power of the people recovers their self-esteem as the first opposition party through the victory of Candidate Oh’s unification, the need for power unity itself may be viewed as low. For this reason, if the party is not promoted smoothly, the National Party is also in danger of sinking into’small opposition forces’.
Candidate Ahn is not a politician in the National Assembly, and as the National Assembly is a small three-seat party, there is a high likelihood that it will not be able to show a political presence in the future.
As such, the two candidates are expected to face fiercely from this day. We are also interested in what kind of message will come out of the’mouths’ that will keep each other in check.
Candidate Oh replied with a smile, “I hope to win,” to the question of predicting the outcome of the victory after meeting with the reporters after having a meeting with the performance officials at a live club in Mapo-gu, Seoul the day before.
Candidate Ahn appeared on the conservative YouTube channel’Jeon Ok-Hyun Security Politics TV’ and raised the suspicion of Oh’s’Naegok-dong land’ raised in his passport.
He said, “There were four lies regarding the allegations of the Naegok-dong land,” and “I am the only flawless candidate who could not be attacked by something like the Naegok-dong incident.”
The polls conducted from this day will be conducted in a way of adding 50% of competitiveness and suitability surveys to 100% wireless phones. Two public opinion polls surveyed 1600 samples each with 800 competitiveness and 800 suitability, and decided a single candidate with a total of 3,200 samples.
