[3보] 野 Se-hoon Oh as a single candidate for mayor of Seoul… “Winning out of the error range”

Candidate Se-hoon Oh was elected as a single candidate for the by-election of the opposition mayor of Seoul by defeating Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo of the National Assembly Party.

On the 23rd, the two candidates jointly announced that candidate Oh was victorious as a result of a unified public opinion poll that reflected half of the `suitability` and `competitiveness` on 3,200 residents of Seoul.

Both sides did not disclose the exact percentage of votes under the Public Officials Election Act. However, it is known that after breaking the expectation that it would be’Park Bing’, Candidate Oh defeated Ahn by out of the margin of error. Candidate Oh is said to be ahead of both suitability and competitiveness.

Immediately after the announcement, Candidate Oh cried at a press conference, saying, “I have lived with a heavy heart for the past 10 years (after resigning as mayor).” “Please support me until,” he appealed for support.

He asked Candidate Ahn, “I would like to express my consolation and gratitude. I confronted in the unification battle, but please hold my hand tightly in the war of government judges.”

At the same time, he said, “I will judge the government through unification, and I will surely accept the strict orders of citizens to open the way for regime change.”

If Ahn wins the defeat, Candidate Oh enters the official election campaign as a single candidate from the 25th, and’resignation’ is marked on the ballot in the ballot box of Candidate Ahn.

Candidate Ahn appeared on CBS Radio prior to the announcement that day and said, “Even if it is a difference of 0.1% (points), I will unconditionally surrender.”
