Hong Moon-pyo: "Seoul Mayor Opposition Unity Depends on Ahn's Mind"
[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Hong Moon-pyo, a member of the People Power Party, emphasized that whether the opposition unifies for the Seoul mayoral by-election depends on Ahn Cheol-soo, the leader of the People Party.
On the 21st, Hong appeared on TBS Radio's "Kim Eo-jun's News Factory" and stated, "Unification may or may not happen, but I believe it depends on Leader Ahn's decision."
Hong said, "The principle of Kim Jong-in, the emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party, is correct," adding, "The party with 120 members should not waver in the Seoul mayoral by-election. We will follow our party's principles, but it would be better if Leader Ahn acts quickly with the intention to join. He will do politics his way, and we will proceed confidently according to the party constitution. There is a possibility that a unification situation may arise at the final stage."
