[Asia Economy Reporters Naju-seok and Park Joon-yi] Kwon Young-se, head of the People Power Party's election campaign headquarters, drew a line on discussions about unifying opposition candidates on the 5th.

Kwon, appointed as the campaign headquarters chief by People Power Party presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, told reporters at the National Assembly, "I believe there is absolutely no need to create a working organization related to unification at this time," adding, "Our goal is to create a situation where we can win without candidate unification, which I think is the campaign headquarters' intention."

Kwon said, "Candidate Yoon has said he will reorganize the campaign headquarters to focus on work and practical affairs," and predicted, "(The campaign headquarters) will operate with functional, policy, and organizational divisions."

Regarding the appointment of a successor to the vacant secretary-general position following the resignation of People Power Party Secretary-General Kwon Seong-dong, he said, "I don't know well," but added, "Since Secretary-General Kwon has expressed his intention to step down, I don't think there is a possibility of reappointment."

Meanwhile, concerning candidate Yoon's announcement to participate in debates among presidential candidates, Kwon said, "We are ready at any time," and added, "Since debates cannot be held alone, the schedule will likely be decided through discussions with the Democratic Party and other candidates."
