[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party's candidate for Seoul mayor, announced this morning that he has conveyed his opinion to the People Power Party's unification negotiation team, asking them to engage in talks with Ahn Cheol-soo, the People's Party's candidate for Seoul mayor.

On the 18th, Oh appeared on YTN Radio's 'Hwang Bo-seon's Start of the Morning' and said, "Since there was a revised proposal yesterday, I think there is room for compromise," adding, "This morning, I spoke with the three members of our negotiation team and requested that they negotiate in a way that aligns with the people's wishes."

When asked if negotiations had started, he replied, "As far as I know, they have not yet."

He continued, "If an agreement is reached by 10 a.m. today, a public opinion poll can definitely be conducted," and said, "Even if it happens before 11 a.m., if the poll is conducted from the afternoon, a conclusion can be reached by tomorrow, and registration before the deadline is possible." He also mentioned, "Before that, both sides could meet and have one institution assess suitability and the other assess competitiveness, then simply combine the results."

Regarding the possibility of an agreement between the working-level negotiation teams, he said, "We need to examine whether there could be any practical issues and if it is feasible," and added, "Please wait a little longer."

On the possibility of the candidates meeting directly to negotiate, he said, "That is also an option," and added, "Ultimately, full authority has been delegated to both negotiation teams, and since opinions have been publicly gathered, discussions will continue."
