[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate of the People’s Party, will hold a special press conference via YouTube at 11:30 a.m. on the 13th.

Originally, Candidate Ahn planned to visit the Gwacheon Central Election Commission to register his candidacy in person and then hold a special press conference at 9:30 a.m. on the same day. However, since his wife, Professor Kim Mi-kyung of Seoul National University, tested positive for COVID-19 in the morning and he had to undergo a PCR test as a close contact, the press conference schedule was postponed.

Candidate Ahn’s PCR test results are expected to be available as early as that afternoon. Accordingly, Candidate Ahn will self-quarantine until the results come out and will announce his position through YouTube.

It is anticipated that Candidate Ahn will mention the unification of opposition candidates at the special press conference. Some speculate that Candidate Ahn may propose unification with Yoon Seok-youl, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, through a national primary election method.
