[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party presidential candidate, and Ahn Cheol-soo, the People Power Party presidential candidate, are expected to hold a press conference on the 3rd and announce their unification.


A People Power Party official stated, "We understand that the two candidates will hold a press conference at the National Assembly around 8 a.m."


After finishing a TV debate that day, the two candidates reportedly met late at night, held a meeting for about two and a half hours, and reached a sudden agreement on unification. This marks the successful unification through direct negotiation between the candidates.


It is expected that after Ahn declares his support for Yoon, he will step down from the candidacy. The two candidates are also expected to announce the integration of the values they have previously expressed.



The joint declaration announced by the two candidates is said to include values they have emphasized so far, such as "Fairness, Common Sense, Future," "National Unity," and "A Science and Technology Powerhouse."
