[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Ahn Cheol-soo, a member of the People Power Party, visited the Gyeongnam Provincial Council on the 15th and announced his intention to run for party leader.

Ahn said, "The People Power Party was powerless due to consecutive defeats, including the 2017 presidential election, the 2018 local elections, and the 2020 general election defeat."

He also said, "To stop the Democratic Party of Korea's dominance, I threw myself into the 2021 Seoul mayoral by-election, creating an opportunity for regime change, and achieved victory in this year's presidential election through unification."

He referred to himself as the "co-signer of the Yoon Seok-yeol government," stating, "I am a community of fate responsible for enhancing the happiness of the people and restoring the nation's competitive status, and I am the most desperate person for the success of the Yoon government."

Ahn revealed his reason for running in the party convention, saying, "The Yoon Seok-yeol government must succeed for the country and the people to succeed."

He emphasized the need for a party leader recognized for ▲ morality and dedication ▲ deep understanding of policy ▲ ability to make winning nominations, and promoted himself as "the only candidate who owes no debts within the party."

Ahn promised, "I will revive the glory of the era when politicians from Gyeongnam led South Korea's economic growth and established the country's order," and pledged to "fully support the development of future industries in Gyeongnam and help farmers achieve a stable life."

He also pledged to secure 170 seats in the next general election, appealing for support by saying, "I will become a capable, moral, and dedicated leader."
