[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Messages of congratulations and support are pouring in for Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate selected as the unified opposition candidate in the Seoul mayoral by-election.

On the 23rd, former lawmaker Na Kyung-won said on Facebook, "I am grateful that both candidates overcame the difficult hurdle of unification and finally bore fruit," adding, "Today's unification result is a public request that the main opposition party must bear heavier responsibility and also an appeal to achieve the task of opposition grand unity." She added, "I also promise to do my best to support, even if only slightly."

Former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min congratulated candidate Oh, emphasizing, "Now our People Power Party will break the five-year losing streak and become a victorious party. The starting point is the April 7 by-elections for the Seoul and Busan mayoral positions." He continued, "Our defeats over the past five years were due to our own faults," and said, "We must boldly break away from the old conservatism and move toward the path of reform and unity that the era and the people desire."
