Ahn Cheol-soo, president of the National Assembly Party, who declared a run for the Seoul Mayor’s by-election in April next year, is pressing on the people’s strength, saying, “Unification of candidates for pan-optics is a winning strategy.” 100 days before the by-election, the weight of the discussion is sharply shifted to’unification of opposition rights’, and the people’s power is struggling over various methods such as ‘100% national contest’.
Ahn Cheol-soo “If elected, establish a bridgehead for regime change through’coalition municipal administration’”
Representative Ahn said at the Supreme Council’s meeting held at the National Assembly on the 28th that “even if I was elected mayor, there will never be political retaliation.” “This by-election has the meaning of political judgment on the incompetence and runaway of the Moon Jae-in regime and the former mayor, but Moon Jae-in He emphasized that there is no intention of repeating the repetition of the rumors of the Democratic Party’s regime with the President. At the same time, “I announced the victory strategy of unifying pan-opposition candidates while declaring a run for the Seoul mayoral by-election. When elected, the keynote and determination of municipal administration is to show the competence of the opposition through coalition correction and create a bridgehead for regime change.” Now the interest is how the people’s strength responds to President Ahn’s proposal. Until now, the leadership of the people’s strength has not yet come up with a clear position on the unification of opposition powers. Rather than seeing Ahn, who leads the’small party’ from within the power of the people, becomes a single candidate that encompasses the entire opposition, he wants a picture in which all candidates for pan-opposition are admitted to the party’s primary. Rep. Jeong Jin-suk, who was the chairman of the People’s Power Nomination Committee, said, “I think we should feel responsible and achieve unity,” and “as President Ahn aims, we are also striving to expand in the middle. If CEO Ahn had a flexible approach to this issue, I would like to become a family member and walk to the Sukwondo Party together.”
Inside the people’s strength, “We have to come up with unconventional new rules”
Some of the party said that instead of the race rules (80% citizens and 20% party members) prepared by the Contest Preparatory Committee to induce the participation of Representatives Ahn or former lawmakers, it is necessary to formulate a radical new rule such as the 100% national primary. This argument is based on the provisions of the Party Constitution and Party Regulations, which states that “the candidate can be selected by the diplomatic committee and recommended by the party representative after the highest resolution.” However, on the part of the People’s Party, Ahn’s admission or de facto worthy party is still drawing a line. Regarding the possibility of a’rule change’, Congressman Chung also said, “I will listen to the positions of the consuls at the meeting.” Kim Jong-in, chairman of the emergency countermeasures committee, met with reporters at the National Assembly on this day to receive questions about how to unify opposition powers, and said, “The mission committee will decide all procedures for candidates in the future.” In the power of the people, the declaration of running for mayor of Seoul continued on this day. Geun-sik Kim, chairman of the party council chairman Song Pa-byeong in Seoul, said, “In the National Power Contest, a new and novel politician, not an established politician, should be elected as a candidate.” Candidate strength can win the finals. As an incumbent professor, I emphasized that “New Face has developed political capacity through political challenges.” In the power of the people, former lawmaker Kim Seon-dong, former Songpa-gu mayor Park Chun-hee, former lawmaker Lee Jong-gu, former lawmaker Hye-hoon Lee, and Seocho-gu chief Cho Eun-hee have already thrown out votes.
Kim Geun-sik declared running… Na Kyung-won is also weighing
Former lawmaker Na Gyeong-won, who is a candidate for the mayor of Seoul, also appeared on the (KBS) radio program that day and said, “The Seoul Mayor’s election to make a Republic of Korea where common sense is correct, a Republic of Korea where the constitution can stand straight, our party’s national convention, and the next presidential election. “There are various political schedules,” he said. “I am looking broadly open to see what role I can play in this process. There will be some things I can do myself, and there will be some help.” By Kim Mina, staff reporter [email protected]
