[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Ahn Cheol-soo, a member of the People Power Party and one of the next party leadership candidates, expressed confidence regarding the 'MZ and Capital Region representation theory' that has become a hot topic within the party.

On the morning of the 13th, Ahn appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' and said, "According to last week's Gallup poll, among the party leadership candidates currently being discussed, I have the highest preference among the 2030 generation."

Party Floor Leader Joo Ho-young and Emergency Response Committee Chairman Jeong Jin-seok consecutively mentioned that the next party leader should be someone who can gain support from the MZ generation and the Capital Region, sparking debates within the party.

Ahn said, "(Among the 2030 generation) my approval rating is the highest. So, regarding the (MZ and Capital Region representation theory), I am confident, that's what I say."

Some predict that the presence or absence of 'Yunshim (Yoon's support)' will determine the party leader in the party convention scheduled for March next year. However, Ahn stated, "I think those who are currently selling Yunshim are admitting that they themselves are not the right candidates to win the general election," and emphasized, "the most important criterion in this party leadership election is 'who can win the general election.'"

He said, "For the Yoon Seok-yeol administration to succeed, the golden time for reform will come the moment it becomes the first party in the 2024 general election, and for that, more than anything else, the most important thing is who can help win the general election. I believe the president shares the same view."
