[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Na Kyung-won, a former lawmaker and a preliminary candidate for the Seoul mayoral election from the People Power Party, called the unification process between Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, and Geum Tae-seop, former lawmaker of the Democratic Party, "welcome news" on the 3rd.

On the same day, Na stated on her Facebook, "It seems the prologue to the success of the opposition unification is in sight."

She said, "Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo accepted Candidate Geum Tae-seop’s proposal," adding, "This is welcome news that can somewhat alleviate the public’s anxiety and distrust surrounding the unification." She further added, "I hope the two candidates follow a fair unification process to firmly establish one pillar of the overall opposition unification."

Na, who pledged to do her best as a candidate in the People Power Party primary, emphasized, "The goal is solely victory," and stated, "Only chemical unification, not mechanical unification, is the path to victory." She said, "We must impress the public through intense debates and policy competition," and added, "We all must respond to the public’s earnest expectations and aspirations."
