Regarding opposition party unification, he clearly stated that he has not received any contact from Yoon Seok-youl, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party.


After visiting the Dosan Ahn Chang-ho Memorial Hall in Gangnam, Seoul, in the afternoon, Candidate Ahn met with reporters and said, "I believe national unity is the spirit of the times," adding, "The person who spoke about this spirit of the times early on was none other than Dosan Ahn Chang-ho. That is why I came here."


Candidate Ahn also wrote in the memorial hall’s guestbook the phrase, "I will inherit Dosan Ahn Chang-ho’s vision of a great harmonious world and achieve national unity."


He further emphasized, "I came to inherit Ahn Chang-ho’s principle of great public service," and said, "Our country is currently very divided. There are many separations by region, ideology, and class, but I came to reaffirm my determination to carry on Ahn Chang-ho’s spirit and work toward national unity."



Regarding opposition party unification, he indicated that there has been no progress. When asked, "Have you received any contact from the People Power Party or Candidate Yoon since this morning?" he replied, "I have not received any contact." Candidate Ahn had also said earlier that morning that he had not received any contact about the possibility of meeting Candidate Yoon directly.
