[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] On the 14th, the Democratic Party criticized the People Power Party's candidates Oh Se-hoon and Na Kyung-won for stating that they could jointly manage Seoul City with the People's Party candidate Ahn Cheol-soo, who is their opponent in the candidate unification race.

Spokesperson Kang Sun-woo said in a written statement, "It is unclear whether they mean to split the one-year term into several months each or to divide the city administration by districts, such as Na Kyung-won managing Dongjak, Oh Se-hoon managing Gwangjin and Nowon-byeong, and Ahn Cheol-soo managing others," adding, "The sight of them promising to divide and share is embarrassing and shameful."

He continued, "Seoul City belongs to ten million citizens, not as a private property of opposition candidates. Seoul City is not your birthday cake," and said, "The baseless proposal for joint management is nothing more than a shallow ploy to secure one's own share."

He criticized, "What Seoul City needs now is one competent captain, not several incompetent crew members."
