[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jeong Jin-seok, the most senior member of the party and chairman of the nomination management committee, called for 'integration first, then unification' between the People Power Party and the People Party, and senior member Jang Je-won also expressed agreement with this view.

On the 7th, Rep. Jang said on Facebook, "If the debate over candidate unification drags on a little longer, the people's hearts will leave us," adding, "I fully support (Rep. Jeong's proposal)." Earlier, Rep. Jeong said, "The integration of the People Power Party and the People Party should take precedence over candidate unification. Integration first, unification later is the answer."

Rep. Jang questioned, "What is the urgent task before us? Isn't it to build a united front through opposition integration to end the Moon Jae-in administration's tyranny and create a country where common sense and the rule of law prevail?" He raised his voice, saying, "All leaders must sacrifice themselves for the greater good."

He said, "The People Power Party should not only force Rep. Ahn to join, and Rep. Ahn should also abandon the fixed notion that the People Power Party does not help with centrist expansion," adding, "Let's become one. And through a fair primary, let's select one candidate."
