[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, expressed confidence on the 22nd that Oh Se-hoon will become the unified opposition candidate in the Seoul mayoral by-election.

After the emergency committee meeting that day, Chairman Kim told reporters, "Looking at the opinion polls, I can clearly see that our candidate Oh Se-hoon will definitely become the unified candidate," adding, "I have no further comments beyond that."

When Kwon Eun-hee, floor leader of the People’s Party, said the unification was delayed because of Chairman Kim, he sharply replied, "I have no need to respond to such childish remarks that those people make."

Regarding a question about Oh’s decision to conduct the opinion poll 100% via mobile phones, he responded, "Since one side was not answering, it could have hindered the unification, so it was good that they answered."

Before the meeting, Chairman Kim praised candidates Oh and Ahn for making a bold decision and agreeing to unify. He said, "Between today and tomorrow, based on the results of the opinion polls, a unified opposition candidate will emerge," and added, "I would like to thank both candidates."

He continued, "This Seoul mayoral election and the Busan mayoral by-election can give tremendous significance to our political society," emphasizing, "I expect our citizens to recognize this and deliver a stern judgment on this government."
