People Power Party to Start Busan Mayor Candidate TV Debate on the 15th
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The People Power Party will begin TV debates among candidates starting from the 15th.
According to the People Power Party Busan City Branch on the 14th, four TV debates will be held from the 15th through Busan MBC and KNN, featuring the main primary candidates Park Seong-hoon, Lee Eon-ju, Park Min-sik, and Park Hyung-joon (in order of ballot numbers).
One-on-one debates are scheduled for the 15th, 18th, and 22nd, while a joint debate with all four candidates will take place on the 25th.
The one-on-one debates will have no debate materials, formalities, or dress code. The format will follow the style of U.S. presidential candidate TV debates, conducted in a standing format where candidates do not sit throughout the debate.
The People Power Party will adopt a TV entertainment program style by having a citizen evaluation panel composed of 1,000 party members score the candidates after each debate and announce the winner. Accordingly, the four main primary candidates are expected to engage in fierce exchanges without any concessions.
