[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Won Hee-ryong, Governor of Jeju Province, welcomed Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, declaring his candidacy for the Seoul mayoral by-election, saying, "I will lend my strength for the victory of the team competition."

On the 20th, Governor Won wrote on Facebook, "I strongly agree with the statement to hold an election where the entire opposition wins, where citizens and the people win," adding, "The opposition must unite. To create a victory for the opposition, which was powerless against the incompetence and lies of the Moon Jae-in administration, we must become one."

He continued, "We must create an innovative framework that embodies the trust and support of the people, select a winning candidate for Seoul mayor, and all become one to achieve the victory of the team competition."

At a press conference held at the National Assembly on the same day, Leader Ahn stated, "This will not be an election where Ahn Cheol-soo wins, but where the entire opposition wins," and added, "I will proudly run as the citizen candidate of Seoul, South Korea, and as the unified opposition candidate to serve as the driving force to stop the regime’s reckless actions."
