The Seoul Mayor's by-election in April is a desperate battle for opposition parties.

If the opposition wins, we can provide a bridgehead for regime change, but if we fail to break the chain of losing the four consecutive elections here, there will be a huge aftermath.

The party's sign may be blown away by the strong centrifugal force, and you may have to'gather together'.



Few people disagree about the need for a single candidate to win the opposition.

However, since the unification of candidates is directly related to who and which forces take the lead of the opposition from the April election to the next presidential election, a fierce battle is inevitable.




Ahn Cheol-soo, the head of the National Assembly Party, is offensive.

He proposed the'open one-shot contest' in which he and the people's power runners compete together, and then again suggested to start unification working-level negotiations from next month after being rejected by the people's power Kim Jong-in, "If you do, join the Emergency Response Committee."

Representative Ahn appeared on SBS 8 News on the 25th and said, "Let's start working-level negotiations early so that opposition supporters who want to unify their candidates can feel relieved."

Representative Ahn is the first presidential candidate to run for mayor of Seoul and has been leading in various opinion polls.

If the presidential election is a heavyweight game, the mayor of Seoul can be seen as a light heavyweight, but the heavyweight competed in a game with a lower weight, overpowering the baseline, and advocating the unification of the opposition candidate first, and seeing the effect of the first come first served.

It has to be seen that there is a judgment that President Ahn's rush to negotiate unification is that it is advantageous to unify quickly when leading the polls.




Chairman Kim Jong-in, who has even experienced an air battle in the prenatal field, will not know this.

Chairman Kim cut off at a New Year's press conference on the 27th, saying, "In order to unify, we must have a candidate for our party."

"It only takes about a week to make a single candidate. I don't think it takes a lot of time because the person is willing."

It reads that it means that we should negotiate unification after the people's strength candidate is decided on March 4, but not before that.

I dismissed CEO Ahn's proposal.

There were even more harsh words.

"It's a pity to see a person obsessed with being a candidate for the Seoul Mayor."



It is said that the opinion that the candidates' approval rating will rise when the media's attention is concentrated as the party's primary election is in full swing and that the final candidate of the People's Power is likely to overtake Ahn.

A non-capital official said, "It is impossible for Chairman Kim, who has led the party's change with the aim of winning the April election, to dedicate a position to Representative Ahn, who has not joined the party. That is, die. It's the same as that."



'Politics is a creature', so it cannot be predicted, but if it goes like this, the unification of the opposition mayoral candidate for the Mayor of Seoul must be decided within two weeks before the candidate registration on the 18th of the same month after the election of the candidate for the strength of the people on March 4.

It is known that Ahn is meeting the elders and seniors of the conservative camp to spread the demand for early unification, but it seems that it will not be easy to change the mind of Chairman Kim Jeong-haek, an old 80s.

President Ahn, who has to run alone and endure as an individual, will have to go a more difficult path than the candidates for the strength of the people who follow the party's primary schedule.



However, if unity is sufficient, will the opposition victory be separated?

What do you think of your partner's passport?

When I asked a passport official, who was involved in establishing the strategy for the general election last year, for a review of the spectator, these answers returned by text twice.

"It is worth evaluating the fact that Ahn Cheol-soo declared that he would be unified first, but there is no such evaluation in the power of the people.… If the opposition candidates come to the finals with brutal fights and scars, it will be good." Blame. …(But) the reflection profits are few."
