[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, who attended the People Power Party’s caucus meeting held on the 24th wearing a red necktie, expressed his ambition to "lead the overall victory of the opposition through the victory of candidate Oh Se-hoon."

Ahn, who was defeated in the process of selecting the unified opposition candidate for the Seoul mayoral by-election held the previous day, decided to continue serving as the election countermeasures committee chairman for Oh’s campaign.

On the day, Ahn said, "Although I was not chosen as the unified candidate, I accept the result cleanly," adding, "I will do my best to increase public trust in the opposition through sincere implementation of promises and ensure that this effort leads to the victory of candidate Oh Se-hoon."

He said, "I will never forget the overwhelming expectations and love that supporters of the People Power Party have given me," and added, "Those who opened their hearts to me and supported me are truly valuable assets for boldly expanding the opposition’s domain and leading the flow of a new era, as well as a strong driving force for the grand opposition unity and regime change."

Ahn, who vowed to be the sharp spear and strong shield of the opposition, emphasized, "I want to achieve regime change and change Korean politics together with you."
