The opposition power fight is intensifying over the Seoul Mayor’s by-election in April. The people’s power is putting pressure on the people in the 3rd zone every day, seeing that the regime change is possible only when the opposition party is unified. On the other hand, Ahn Chul-soo, the head of the National Assembly Party, argues that a person who can win without being restricted by the party must emerge. Depending on the conclusion of the unification of the opposition, the topography of the opposition may change entirely after the mayoral election in Seoul. There are also observations that the opposition will fight in favor of the ruling party after opposition rights are fighting like the 2018 local elections.

People’s Power “Couldn’t be a single political judge”

An official from the power of the people explained on the unification of opposition rights on the 21st, “After winning the election with Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential election has no effect.” It is said that such concerns were attributable to the recent push of the people to postpone the unification with Representative Ahn and to elect the party candidate first.
The opposition party believes that it is impossible to change the government if it loses in this election for the mayor of Seoul. This is because the election of the mayor of Seoul affects Seoul, which has a population of 10 million, Gyeonggi-do, which has a population of 13 million, and Incheon, which has a population of 3 million.
If the opposition is unified centering on Representative Ahn, the by-election in April will actually become’one player’. In this case, the power of the people is further weakened, and there is a prevailing atmosphere inside that it will be difficult to change the regime in the next presidential election. In fact, in the straight-line presidential elections held after democratization, there has never been a third zone candidate, not a huge bipartisan candidate. Former President Kim Young-sam unified the candidates as a’three-party worthy’, and former President Kim Dae-jung as the’DJP Alliance’.
The official said, “Even if the National Assembly won the Seoul Mayor’s election, it is a party with three seats and the presidential elections disappear.” “The’registration trial’ is the nature of the Seoul mayor’s election. Even if Ahn wins, it is not possible to change the government without a large political party. It is difficult” he pointed out. It means that the presidential election can be won only when the opposition leaders gather around the power of the people, the first opposition party.
The people’s strength leadership and presidential election runners also emphasized that the first conservative party-centered unification must be achieved. Ho-young Joo said, “I hope that it will be an opportunity to unite and unite with unity and be happy to take over the stolen Seoul city government and regain power in the next presidential election.” Former Congressman Yoo Seung-min also said, “Please, I must say that as a candidate for the Uri Party, I must have self-esteem. “I think it is better than any of the candidates outside the party,” said Governor Won Hee-ryong, “The by-election of Seoul Mayor in April should never be defeated.” “It made a turning point for the regime change in March next year. I have to go out.”

Chul-Soo Ahn “Need a new opposition including rational reformers”

The problem is that Ahn wants to break the old structure of electing a president by dividing into two large political parties: progressive and conservative, left and right. Above all, the people do not view the power of the people as an alternative force. This is revealed in a lecture by Representative Ahn in front of members of the People’s Strength at the’National Future Forum’ in November. At the time, Ahn said in front of the House Representative Joo Ho-young, “I’m sorry, but it is difficult to change the regime (by the power of the people)”, “There is no trust and so much dislike that it is not an alternative”, “Pro-I-Pro-Pacific Confrontation, There is no recognition as a reforming force. ”And criticized it. He said, “The people will pay attention and listen again, and we need to create a foundation that can encompass not only the midway but also the progress that requires rational reform.”
On the 19th, Ahn demanded that the Seoul mayoral by-election contest platform be open to the entire opposition. This is a claim that goes in line with the opposition innovation platform that CEO Ahn says. It is to expand the fence of opposition so that everyone can compete. Through this, it is a proposal to gather not only conservatives but also middle and progressive reform forces as opposition. It is also possible to interpret that the idea that regime change is difficult has not changed with the power of the people alone.

The presidential election fluctuates according to the result of unification “It’s not easy”

It is expected that the unification of opposition powers will be difficult to achieve immediately, as the issue of regime change is also entangled. The power of the people insists on the so-called third zone’Peace Parism’ and insisting that the regime change, centering on the giant conservative party. On the other hand, President Ahn is trying to replace the regime by winning the election for the mayor of Seoul by putting his own competitiveness ahead and innovating the entire opposition.
From the standpoint of the people’s power, if the unity centered on Representative Ahn, the aftermath of the storm cannot be avoided. Outsiders may jump into competition for party power at the convention where the party’s door must be opened and a new leadership is elected in April. In this process, there is a fear that the conservative support layer may be separated. Conversely, if Ahn fails to unify his opposition centering on himself, his political life will suffer dangerously. This is because the election of the mayor of Seoul, which returned after giving up the presidency, could not be resolved.
Some observers say that the atmosphere of the mayoral election in Seoul may change in favor of the passport while fighting over the unification of the opposition. It is because the opposition is not an alternative, but can be seen as an immersion in the struggle for power without abandoning the old situation. This means that the 2018 local elections, when the opposition failed to unify and gave the election after slandering each other, can be recreated. In the 2018 Seoul mayoral election, former Mayor Park Won-soon at the time won 52.79% of the votes, lightly winning candidates Kim Moon-soo (23.34%) and Ahn Cheol-soo (19.55%). An official from the opposition Seoul Mayor’s Candidate Camp said, “Unification can only be known by going right before the election.” “People’s sentiment will eventually solve everything.”
