Regarding the by-election of the Mayor of Seoul and Busan next year, Cheol-soo Ahn said, "There are many people who are disappointed with the government and the ruling party at present, so it can be a very big mistake to think optimistically that the opposition will win."



Representative Ahn made this statement today (2nd) at an invitation to the first election meeting of the people's strength,'Conservatives for the Battle of Myungbul Heo'.



He pointed out that "there is a 20% difference between the passport and the approval rate itself, and it will be an organized election through an untact election," he said. "There are many means that the government and the ruling party can use (before the election)."



Representative Ahn mentioned the'innovation platform', saying, "The fact that the'Anti-Moon Solidarity' alone cannot win is due to objective analysis in its own way."



The possibility of running for mayor of Seoul was once again drawn.



He said, "I will do my best to help when a candidate for the mayor of Seoul is decided," he said. "I have no intention of running."



Representative Ahn said, "Big government, small government debate is over. A competent government is the basis." .



Representative Ahn actively clarified that it is not true to point out that there is a negative image due to withdrawal during the past election phase.



He said, "When the People's Party was founded, it was predicted that everyone would fall, and even within the party it was noisy that it should be worthy of being worthy of the Democratic Party, but it was the first bargaining organization since the 3rd Kim. "I broke through it"



He then argued, "I compete with image in the political world, and the word'withdrawal' was also one of the image attacks, and it was not."



Regarding the perception that there is a problem with leadership due to frequent breakups with key staff, he said, "I have created a situation where real politicians are forced to worry as I go through a difficult third path."



However, he pointed out that former lawmaker Geum Tae-seop, who was close to him, who served as the head of the camp situation during the 2012 presidential election, was encouraged to leave the Democratic Party as before the 2016 general election, but remained.
