[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, has entered final discussions with former emergency committee chairman Kim Jong-in and party leader Lee Jun-seok to complete the formation of the election campaign committee. It is reported that Yoon plans to meet Kim on the 17th and then meet Lee on the 18th after their discussions.

On the 17th, Lee visited the People Power Party headquarters and told reporters, "I was supposed to meet with candidate Yoon today, but the meeting was canceled," adding, "Since the candidate's schedule keeps changing by the minute, we discussed everything over the phone."

He continued, "I received details about the campaign committee formation discussed with former chairman Kim, and I agreed with almost all of it," adding, "There are no disagreements."

Regarding the campaign committee appointments, Lee said, "From what I have seen, compared to other parties, I think the first phase of the formation is almost complete," and about the announcement timing, he said, "The candidate will make the final decision, but we haven't specifically discussed it today."

Explaining why the meeting was canceled, Lee said, "On my way to a regional schedule, candidate Yoon contacted me and mentioned that he would meet former chairman Kim today, so I said we could talk if he came afterward." However, he did not disclose why he still visited the party headquarters after the appointment was canceled.

It is reported that Yoon held a luncheon meeting with party-affiliated lawmakers at a location in Yeouido, Seoul, in the afternoon and then planned to meet former chairman Kim in a private schedule.

Yoon is expected to finalize the appointment plan by meeting Lee either later that evening or on the 18th.
