Mayor Oh said in a talk with the Dong-A Ilbo on the 4th, “I am thinking about the last minute (related to running for the mayor of Seoul),” and “I am struggling to think that the opposition candidates move relatively faster than the Democratic Party.” Mayor Oh, who had been inclined to go directly to the presidential election so far, is solidifying his determination to enter the mayor of Seoul following persuasion from inside and outside the party. However, regarding the prospect that he will be declared running this week, he spared the statement that “I haven’t really thought about it yet.”
I, a former lawmaker, also issued a check on Ahn, referring to the Seoul Mayor’s candidate contest. In an interview with YTN Radio, he said, “I am worried that Ahn will be able to achieve the unification properly until the end,” but he said, “(100%) Seoul citizens (participation) will have to compete in the contest to participate in the contest.” Previously, former lawmaker Na said, “I will think about the method and timing regarding the declaration of running for this month.”
On the other hand, CEO Ahn, who had been pushing for unification toward the people’s strength until last week, began to take policy steps with spared words about unification. Representative Ahn, who visited the urban regeneration area in Changsin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the first New Year’s schedule on the 1st, did not directly respond to the Seoul citizens’ contest mentioned by former lawmaker Na on the 4th. “Let’s compete for vision and policy on how to make Seoul in the future.” I said. As it is leading in the approval ratings of various New Year polls, it is interpreted as a strategy that it is not disadvantageous even if the candidates for national strength are caught up and discuss unification. In this situation, Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Strength Emergency Response Committee, emphasizes the’self-hospitalism’ that the party will present its own candidate while keeping a distance from the arguments for unifying opposition candidates from inside and outside the party. Chairman Kim said at a non-capital meeting held privately on the day, “CEO Ahn should not ask for self-centered unity. It is known that we will make a candidate for our party,” and emphasized that “we need to create a race rule that can verify the competence of the candidates for the mayor of Seoul.” A party official said that it means that the party will not be drawn to the issue of unification and will strengthen the party candidate’s strength.
