Former Mayor Oh Se-hoon of the People’s Power officially declared a run for the Seoul Mayor by-election (April 7) on the 17th. As the preliminary unification with the National Assembly representative Ahn Chul-soo, who had been presented as a condition for non-running, was frustrated, he had no choice but to set out to establish a bridgehead for regime change. With this, in the opposition, all the’Big 3’including former lawmaker Na Gyeong-won in the April Seoul Mayor’s by-election was completed.

Former Mayor Oh Se-hoon cited the past five years of correctional experience as the greatest competitiveness in his declaration on the day. He said, “(Now in Seoul), the mayor’s position is in vain due to the sexual harassment of the former mayor, and the city is stopped due to a heavy snowfall. We need an experienced market.” He stressed, “I can’t afford to wait for the trial and error of the amateur market, the one-year intern market, and the practice market.” ‘North Seoul Dream Forest’, which was declared running, seems to be the place chosen to evoke these strengths. This is because in 2009, when he was in office as the mayor of Seoul, it took over the closed Dreamland site and opened the North Seoul Dream Forest. The former mayor met with reporters after the declaration of the run and said, “All the pledges I put forward are a five-year pledge,” and said, “In those five years, I will erase my thoughts about the challenge for the presidential office in white.” He declared that he would challenge the re-election of the mayor of Seoul and not run for the next presidential election. Mayor Oh demanded that Ahn Chul-soo, president of the National Assembly Party, join the power of the people and apologized for spending a long time for the “conditional declaration of run” and resignation 10 years ago. “I owe you a lot. I stood here with the heart of atonement.”

Representative Ahn and I, former lawmakers, continued their’people’s life’. On the 15th, CEO Ahn, who volunteered to collect samples from citizens at a temporary screening center in front of the Seoul City Hall, visited Sajik 2, Jongno-gu, designated as an urban maintenance area, and chatted with residents. Representative Ahn attacked former Mayor Park Won-soon’s urban regeneration policy, saying, “Because we insist on urban regeneration in areas that require redevelopment, residents’ inconvenience and safety are threatened.” On this day, former lawmaker Na announced the first pledge to establish a 6 trillion won “Private Sustainability Emergency Rescue Fund” by the People’s Power. Rep. Na said, “250,000 households, or 10% of the nation’s 2.43 million self-employed households, are in a liquidity crisis.” If we raise funds, it will become seed money that will open the economy and open the hearts of the people.” The two candidates showed mixed attitudes toward the former mayor’s run for the day. Representative Ahn said, “It is desirable for many opposition candidates to compete. I think that I’m a teammate who helps lay the foundation for winning the opposition through goodwill competition.” On the other hand, former Mayor Oh and former lawmaker Na, who was in the party’s primary election, pointed out the ’10 year vacancy’ of the former mayor. “I will draw out well,” he said. Meanwhile, there were 10 candidates for the power of the people including Lee Hye-hun, Lee Jong-gu, and Oh Shin-hwan, former secretary general Kim Seon-dong, Seocho-gu office director Cho Eun-hee, former Songpa-gu office chief Park Chun-hee, Kyungnam University professor Kim Geun-sik, and former Shanghai Consul General Kim Jeong-ki. In addition, former lawmaker Geum Tae-seop, who left the Democratic Party, has also declared a run for mayor of Seoul. By Noh Hyun-woong, staff reporter [email protected]
