Kim Moonsoo, the People Power Party candidate, and former People Power Party leader Han Donghoon appeared together at a campaign rally held in Dobong-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of May 26. This was the first time in 23 days that the two figures stood side by side at an official event since the party convention on May 3.


That afternoon, Kim began an intensive campaign for Nowon, Dobong, and Gangbuk districts at Banghak Sageori in Dobong-gu, Seoul, where Han also made an appearance.


Han stated, "I came here with the intention of stopping the incompetent Lee Jaemyung administration together," adding, "If we fight with just cause, we can defeat Lee Jaemyung."



Previously, after the party convention, Han had continued independent campaign support activities separate from Kim. Beginning in Busan on May 20, he traveled nationwide?including Daegu, Chungcheong, and Gangwon?conducting a three-day, two-night campaign tour. On the previous day (May 25), he campaigned at Seokchon Lake in Songpa-gu, Seoul. However, he did not officially join the election committee, nor did he appear at Kim's campaign events. Regarding this, a pro-Han faction official recently stated, "It is difficult to form an alliance easily because Kim continues to maintain his opposition to impeachment."
