Candidate of Seoul Mayor of the 3rd Zone after defeating Ahn Chul-soo and Geum Tae-seop[종합]

The result of the unification of the 3rd zone of the National Assembly Representative Ahn Chul-soo and former Democratic Party lawmaker Geum Tae-seop ended with Ahn’s victory. On the 1st, the working-level negotiations on the 1st held a press conference and said, “As a result of the 100% public opinion poll on the 27th, Candidate Chul-soo Ahn won the unified contest.” Kim Tae-hyung, a spokesman for Camp Kim Tae-hyung, the working representative of Congressman Keum, said, “I hope (this unificationist) will become a bridgehead for victory in the opposition. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the people involved.” It is known that the unification method between Representative Ahn and Geum Jeon was conducted through a 100% citizen poll, and the question was not the usual item of `the fit of the Seoul market`, but rather the competitiveness of the Democratic Party candidate. As a result, it seems that Ahn, who was not only advantageous in terms of recognition, but also showed a higher approval rate than Democratic Party candidate Park Young-sun in various public opinion polls recently announced, won.

Earlier, Representative Ahn and Rep. Geum decided to unify the third zone and agreed to “clearly surrender to the results and publicly declare support for the unified candidate”. In a call with Maeil Economic Daily, Geum Jeon said, “I hope that Ahn will do well. Anyone will do a job where a single candidate for opposition can win.” On Facebook, he wrote, “I’m sorry to those who supported me. I am deeply grateful to the people who played together for the independent candidates who challenged by seeing the small possibility, and to all those who did not spare me support and encouragement to me,” he wrote. Immediately after the announcement of the results, CEO Ahn also said through Facebook, “The snowball for the regime change began to lump and roll with the bold determination and participation of Candidate Tae-seop Geum.” I will do it,” he said.

Representative Ahn must go through another unification when the final candidate of the Mayor of Seoul City is elected on the 4th. Unlike the unification between Representative Ahn and Monetary Assemblyman, which proceeded smoothly because there was not much disagreement in unification methods such as public opinion polls, in the case of the power of the people, because of the position of the first opposition party, a nerve war may arise over the unification method. As if recognizing this situation, CEO Ahn said on Facebook that day, “I will meet you as soon as the candidate for the strength of the people is elected,” and “I hope that an agreement will be reached on a beautiful unification method in which the people sympathize, the candidates sympathize, and the supporters are satisfied. “I wrote.
