[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] The People Power Party's election campaign headquarters drew a line on the opposition candidates' unification, stating, "We have never mentioned it nor discussed any plans for it in the future."

On the 6th, Kwon Young-se, head of the campaign headquarters, said, "I am informing you of the official stance of the campaign headquarters regarding the discussion on opposition unification," clarifying the position.

This statement directly contradicts the unification-related remarks made the previous day by Won Hee-ryong, head of the policy division of the campaign headquarters. In an interview with Yonhap News Agency the day before, Won said, "It is now time to mention (unification). The election is just a few days away." However, when asked if Candidate Yoon also thinks unification is necessary, Won replied, "I assume so."

Kwon, head of the campaign headquarters, explained, "The remarks within the campaign headquarters about it being time to start unification discussions are merely personal opinions and have nothing to do with the official stance of the campaign headquarters."
