[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, emphasized on the 8th, "If the people entrust the government to us with overwhelming support, we will finalize the merger with the People Party and also cooperate with the Democratic Party of Korea to achieve national unity."

At the site prepared in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Candidate Yoon said, "We will swiftly complete the merger with the People Party led by Ahn Cheol-soo to further expand the political landscape and outreach of the People Power Party," adding, "We will also cooperate splendidly with conscientious and rational figures from the opposition Democratic Party to achieve national unity and economic development."

He stated, "Those who led the majority party's tyranny have all flocked to Lee Jae-myung's Democratic Party and are acting like this," and raised his voice, "You must help the Democratic Party operate as a rational, conscientious, and sensible party."

He also brought up the Daejang-dong development issue related to Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung again. Candidate Yoon pointed out, "Is the Democratic Party, which nominates the mastermind of corruption who funneled 850 billion won to Kim Man-bae and his group in Daejang-dong, really a party serving the people?" and questioned, "Can corrupt people be loyal servants of the people and uphold democracy?"

He criticized the ruling party's announced political reform plan as well. He said, "With only 10 days left until the presidential election, when the people are going to change the regime, there are people trying to muddy the waters by talking about political reform. How much do they underestimate the people who are the owners?" and added, "Isn't it political reform when they themselves are replaced?"

He continued, "Disloyal servants are not the owners of the country," emphasizing, "You are the owners of this country." He also appealed for support, saying, "Please be sure to vote and replace the wrong servants," and "Please replace this arrogant attitude of those who think they are the owners."

In the closing remarks, Candidate Yoon emphasized that he is a 'political novice.' He expressed, "I owe no one," and "I only owe the people." He added, "I do not think about the regime or my political interests," and "I am someone who started from political zero." He concluded, "I will only look at the people and become an honest president to the people."
