On the first day of the presidential candidate registration, in the morning, former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, and in the afternoon, former Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon and former Prime Minister Jeong Se-kyun completed their registration through proxy.



In the Democratic Party, which has entered the main election, the theory of postponement of the primary has rekindled due to the worsening Corona 19 situation.



The Party Election Commission asked for the opinions of six candidates, and it is said that five people, excluding deputy candidate Lee Jae-myung, expressed their intention to postpone the election.



Candidate Jae-myung Lee, who has maintained a 'schedule adherence' position, appeared on SBS 8 News yesterday and expressed a forward-looking stance, saying that if the party decides, it will follow.

'Unification' is a hot topic among the opposition players It was.



Former President Yoon Seok-yeol said that he would make any decision if it was a way to ensure regime change, indicating for the first time the possibility of unification with former Auditor General Choi Jae-hyung.



However, after completing his father's triumvirate, former President Choi repeatedly declared his intention to challenge the presidency, saying, "I will walk step by step towards the road to illuminate Korea." However, he drew a line about unification with former President Yoon.



[Choi Jae-hyung/Former Auditor General: (Me) There are people who say, 'It is an alternative to former President Yoon Seok-yeol'. However, I want to be evaluated as myself.]



Former President Choi seems to be preparing to run for president in earnest, such as organizing an election camp.
