[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, stated on the 22nd, "Candidate Oh Se-hoon and Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo of the People’s Party have made a bold decision and reached an agreement on unification," adding, "I apologize for causing temporary inconvenience due to the failure to achieve unification within the expected timeframe."

At the Emergency Committee meeting that day, Chairman Kim said, "Between today and tomorrow, based on the results of public opinion polls, a unified opposition candidate will emerge."

He expressed gratitude by saying, "I would like to thank both candidates," and added, "I believe this election is an opportunity to reflect the will of Seoul citizens to judge the past four years of the Moon Jae-in administration."

He continued, "During the Moon Jae-in administration, by securing the majority of seats in the National Assembly in the April 15 general election, the order and operation of our country have been heading toward a very difficult situation," and said, "I am confident that the Seoul citizens will create an opportunity to correct this through the Seoul mayoral by-election."

Furthermore, Chairman Kim emphasized, "I expect that the Seoul mayoral election and the Busan mayoral by-election will carry tremendous significance for our political society, and I hope our citizens recognize this and deliver a stern judgment on this government."
