[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate of the People’s Party, who suspended all official schedules due to a campaign bus fatal accident, is expected to resume election campaigning from the afternoon of the 19th. The plan is to re-enter the election battle as soon as the funeral rites for the regional campaign committee chairman and the driver who passed away in the bus accident are completed.

On the 18th, Candidate Ahn attended the funeral service for the late Son Pyeong-o, the Nonsan-Gyeryong-Geumsan regional campaign committee chairman, at Dankook University Hospital funeral hall in Cheonan, Chungnam. Having stayed at the funeral home for three days, Candidate Ahn said in a statement, "Although we can no longer share the broad heart of Nonsan, the lofty spirit of Gyeryong, and the beauty of Geumsan with Comrade Son, my remaining comrades and I will surely realize the ‘better regime change’ we dreamed of with him, and our belief that the reason for regime change must be to create a better Republic of Korea."

That afternoon, Candidate Ahn visited Wonju Severance Christian Hospital, where the driver who fell into an unconscious state due to another campaign bus accident is hospitalized. Tomorrow, he will head to the funeral hall in Gimhae, Gyeongnam, where the funeral for the driver who died in the bus accident will be held.

There is growing interest in whether this accident will become a variable affecting the unification of opposition candidates. The People Power Party secretly hopes that Candidate Ahn will voluntarily withdraw following the bus accident, but Candidate Ahn’s side remains unchanged in their position that they are waiting for Candidate Yoon’s response regarding the ‘unification through public opinion polls’ method.
