The power of the people in the by-election of the Mayor of Seoul, Oh Se-hoon and Candidate Ahn Chul-soo of the National Assembly Party are scheduled to register as candidates for the election committee on the 19th. This was due to the fact that the opinion poll negotiations that were intended to be conducted for’unification before registration of candidates’ failed to narrow the disagreement until the day before and finally broke down.
Candidate Oh and Ahn are planning to continue negotiations after registering as candidates for the election committee on this day.
Kwon Eun-hee “The situation where an agreement was not reached on the right to veto Kim Jong-in…it is difficult until the 29th”
In this regard, Kwon Eun-hee, head of the Nationalist Party, said, “The situation that remains in the future is not so hopeful.”
On the afternoon of the 18th, Won-nae Kwon said, “I am very sorry for the situation that each of the candidates in the opposition at 7 pm tomorrow registers in the news high kick of MBC Radio Awards.”
As for the reason, “The process of the candidate contest through the Election Commission’s security number is managed in accordance with the law and enforcement decree, so there are periods necessary. You must set the start date of the poll period and apply for the security number 10 days before the start date.” Considering the period, it is physically very difficult to elect a single candidate by the date of printing the ballot on the 29th.”
Regarding the background of the breakdown of negotiations between the working-level negotiations on both sides, Kwon Won-nae said, “The consensus between the candidates has not been reached due to the veto of Chairman Kim Jong-in, the power of the people.”
He said, “Let’s do a public opinion poll by dividing the competitiveness and suitability of the two public opinion polls, and then sum up the results, and to conduct a 100% wireless phone polling method (Candidate Oh’s side) was a revised proposal, and candidate Ahn accepted. “The People’s Strength Working-Level Negotiation Team has fulfilled the claim that fixed-line telephones should be mixed (10%) in accordance with Chairman Kim’s guidelines.”
When asked the meaning of ‘10% wired phone’, Won-nae Kwon said, “It is not disagreement based on the difference between telephones called wired and wireless telephones, but it is a difference depending on whether or not to use the system of safe numbers under the Public Officials Election Act. It is a claim that the election of candidates is fair and reliable by accepting 100% of the security numbers prescribed by the election law, and the power of the people, Chairman Kim, argues that the landline telephone, that is, the database of each public opinion polling agency, should be used.” Said.
