[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former People Power Party lawmaker Oh Shin-hwan criticized Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, on the 14th, saying, “Who is forcing Leader Ahn to 'yield and sacrifice by not running, as was done to former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon and President Moon Jae-in'?” He added, “He is asking for a clear opinion on how Seoul citizens should decide on a unified candidate.”

In a statement released that day, former lawmaker Oh said, “Who doesn’t know that the decision on a unified candidate should be made by Seoul citizens who are angry at this administration?”

Oh also said, “I think the demand to join the party was excessive. However, a joint primary plan for the broad opposition based on grand unity should have been received at least last week,” and criticized, “While Leader Ahn was saying ‘I don’t like this, I don’t like that’ and stalling, the People Power Party’s primary train has already departed.”

Former lawmaker Oh stated, “Let’s put aside the talk of unification for now and compete on visions,” and added, “Once the People Power Party candidate is selected, let’s ask the will of Seoul citizens and decide on the unified opposition candidate then.”
