[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon and three-term Seoul City Council members from the Democratic Party of Korea, who worked in the Seoul city government, urged the People Power Party candidate Oh to withdraw as the unified opposition candidate.

On the 25th, 11 city council members held a press conference in front of the Seoul City Council and stated, "Former Mayor Oh is a failed mayor," adding, "He abandoned his mayoral position 10 years ago by opposing the full introduction of free school meals."

They further added, "He said he rejects ruinous populism, but has Seoul City failed now?"

They also criticized former Mayor Oh's attendance rate at city council plenary sessions and the city’s debt. They pointed out that his attendance rate was only 40%, and that Seoul’s debt in 2010 was around 20 trillion won. They also claimed that the new city hall building was constructed inefficiently.

The city council members said, "It is not too late even now; we urge candidate Oh to immediately withdraw from the candidacy so as not to become a burden of history."
