[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate of the People’s Party, proposed a 'unification of opposition forces' to Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party.


On the morning of the 13th, Ahn held a special press conference through his YouTube channel and stated, "For a better regime change, to end the old system and pursue national unity, I propose the unification of opposition candidates," adding, "I expect a sincere response from candidate Yoon to my proposal."


Ahn emphasized, "The unification of candidates for a better regime change is more about what the unification is for rather than who becomes the candidate. This unification of opposition candidates should be a coalition and alliance for moving toward the future," and added, "It must encompass the vision of regime change, political change, and era change, and the result must lead to an overwhelming victory."



He also argued that the unification should be entrusted to the people's choice. Ahn explained, "First, jointly announce the next government's national vision and innovation tasks before the public and promise to implement them. Then, select a unified candidate through a public opinion poll and primary election. Whoever becomes the candidate, if they become each other's running mate, they can lead to an overwhelming victory," and added, "If the decision on who is more suitable to lead the future is fully entrusted to the people's judgment, the primary election will neither be complicated nor delayed."
