[Asia Economy Reporters Bomryeong Geum, Juni Park] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, and Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate of the People’s Party, have joined hands for opposition unity.

On the morning of the 3rd, Yoon and Ahn held a press conference at the National Assembly and stated, "We have agreed to unite for regime change as the beginning of creating a better Republic of Korea, that is, a 'better regime change,'" adding, "Starting today, we begin a grand journey toward regime change, embodying the people's desire for national unity and the future of Korea."

They emphasized, "The two of us are One Team," and said, "By complementing each other’s shortcomings, we will definitely achieve regime change and create a successful administration through a mutually complementary, competent, and prepared executive branch."

Yoon and Ahn promised a ‘National Unity Government.’ This government aims to build a 'science and technology-centered nation' leading the 4th Industrial Revolution, as well as a just society where fairness and common sense breathe.

The National Unity Government plans to focus on the future, reform, pragmatism, quarantine, and integration. They explained, "The National Unity Government will not be a government where the president governs alone," adding, "Under the principles of cooperation and collaboration, we will operate the government together with the partners promised to the people."

During the press conference, Ahn said, "Ahn Cheol-soo has decided to support candidate Yoon Seok-yeol," and Yoon responded, "I will accept Ahn Cheol-soo’s intention and definitely win to create and succeed in a successful National Unity Government together."

They continued, "It took a long time and there were many twists and turns until today’s declaration, but ultimately, this unity was made possible by the people," saying, "Dear citizens, we apologize for the delay. Because it was late, we will work tirelessly, to the very end, and do our best with certainty.”
