As Ahn Cheol-soo, the representative of the National Assembly Party, ran for Mayor of Seoul on the 20th, the by-election of the next year was shaken, and the actions of former Future Integration Party lawmaker Na Gyeong-won and former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon are attracting attention. In terms of the power of the people, “not only Ahn Cheol-soo, but also Na Gyeong-won, Oh Se-hoon, and other heavy-handed party members should all be dispatched to lead the success of the by-election of the party, which took the life and death of the party” (party official).

In addition, the fact that the existing candidates for the strength of the people did not stand out in the situation where former lawmaker Geum Tae-seop, who had left the Democratic Party, cast a vote for the mayor of Seoul on the 22nd, which is the background that fueled the two people’s run for the run.

In various opinion polls, former lawmaker Na, who ranked first and second in opposition Seoul mayoral candidates, recently confiscated suspicions surrounding him. On the 23rd, the immigration certificate and the birth certificate of the Seoul National University Hospital were released to dismiss the alleged childbirth, and the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office on the 24th dismissed all 13 accusations aimed at suspicion of illegal entrance examinations by children. Regarding this, reactions came from inside and outside the party, “Isn’t I, a former lawmaker, actively trying to clear up the suspicions with the consideration of running for mayor of Seoul?”

In a call with the JoongAng Ilbo on the same day, former lawmaker Na said, “We are considering what role we can play in the party, including the mayoral election in Seoul.” Regarding Representative Ahn’s run for the run, “The undivided opposition victory is the most important. There is a need for unification in a fair way.” In a radio interview that day, former lawmaker I said, “In the process of the Seoul mayoral election, the party convention, and the presidential election, there will be some things that I myself will do, and there will be some help.”

Mayor Oh, who was looking for the presidential election, is also contemplating whether to run for mayor of Seoul. Mayor Oh said in the call that day, “I’m listening to recommendations or advice from around me, but I think my worries will get longer.” There were also concerns that the race of the mayor of Seoul in the recent opposition was in a hurry. Mayor Oh said, “It feels like the opposition parties are stepping on the accelerator pedal excessively because of Ahn’s run.” “I am concerned that the opposition party is overspeeding more than the Democratic Party over who will start even if it is a policy competition,” he said. An official from the former mayor said, “After President Ahn’s declaration to run for mayor of Seoul, invitations from party members to run for mayor are pouring out.”

Regarding the run for mayor of Seoul, former lawmaker I said, “I am contemplating,” and former mayor Oh said, “It seems that the troubles will be prolonged.” The photo shows a handshake with former lawmaker Na Kyung-won (left) and former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon at the Seoul Party Policy Debate held at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul on January 13th.

There are also variables in the two mayors’ challenge. In addition to running for mayor of Seoul on this day, former lawmaker Na revealed that there is an option to challenge the national party or presidential election. Former mayor Oh was initially putting weight on running for president. Recently, as Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol emerged as the mainstream in various presidential polls, opposition candidates such as former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, Jeju governor Won Hee-ryong, and independent lawmaker Hong Jun-pyo struggled. .

It is predicted that the choice of Congressman Na and Mayor Oh may affect the power of the people as well.
In the opposition so far, discussions have been made about the contest after Ahn’s participation in the people’s power, the’one-shot contest’ in which all opposition candidates compete, and the one-on-one single-shot contest between the finalist and president Ahn. It is said, “If both people who will be influential runners are running, the 1:1 single-run contest is not appropriate.”

An official from the power of the people said in a call on the day that “if new members of high-recognition, such as former lawmakers and mayor Oh, jump in, it could have a decisive influence on the debate on the by-election rules.”
