[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] The People Power Party dismissed reports that it is considering a plan to open a political future to Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate of the People’s Party, five years later on the premise of unifying the presidential candidate with Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party’s presidential candidate, saying, "There has been no discussion on this within the election campaign headquarters."

Lee Yang-su, chief spokesperson of the election campaign headquarters, told reporters at the National Assembly on the 16th, "This is the first time I have heard of such content through reports," and made the statement.

Earlier that day, Won Hee-ryong, head of the policy headquarters, also responded to a question on CBS Radio asking, "There was a media report that Candidate Yoon is considering proposing a roadmap for the next presidential election to Candidate Ahn. Is this true?" by saying, "I have never heard of it before," and added, "Currently, various opinions on unification have been sufficiently raised within our campaign headquarters, and everything is left to the candidate’s judgment."

When asked whether there had been contact with Candidate Ahn, the spokesperson replied, "There has been no contact at the campaign headquarters level, and it seems that stories about meeting lawmakers (politicians) who have personal connections individually have been disclosed in the media."

Regarding whether Candidate Yoon would consider the 'public opinion poll national primary method' proposed by Candidate Ahn, it was explained that there has been no progress from Yoon’s position, who said he would "think about it."

Regarding Candidate Yoon’s planned visit that day to the funeral homes of two deceased party members at the People’s Party campaign vehicle in Cheonan, Chungnam, where he is scheduled to meet Candidate Ahn, the spokesperson said, "Since it is a condolence visit out of human decency, we would appreciate it if all political interpretations are refrained from."

Also, regarding reports that Yoon’s spouse, Kim Geon-hee, is considering public appearances, the spokesperson responded, "There is nothing being discussed or planned within the campaign headquarters."
