Yoon Seok-yeol, the People's Power presidential candidate, focused on designing an election strategy without setting an outside schedule.



Regarding the formation of the Party Election Countermeasures Committee, Candidate Yoon repeatedly reached out to rivals in the primary.



On his SNS, he emphasized, "Senior Hong Jun-pyo's message was much brighter than my acceptance speech."



However, Assemblyman Hong Jun-pyo said, "My role in this election is over," and "I have no intention of participating in the election alleging corruption led by the prosecution."



As this is a declaration of refusal to join the former captain, it is analyzed that chemical bonding after the presidential election will inevitably take more time.



There is also interest in whether Kim Jong-in, former chairman of the emergency response committee, will join the party's predecessor.



There are speculations that he will return as the general election chairman and lead the election, but an official from People's Power said, "Candidate Yoon and Representative Lee Jun-seok reached a consensus in a broad framework. It has not been discussed yet."



Candidate Yoon and CEO Lee said yesterday that they would complete the formation of the election committee within this month, but there are many expectations that the outline of the selection committee will be revealed on the 15th, before and after the publication anniversary of former Chairman Kim Jong-in.



Regarding yesterday's remarks by Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung, who said, "He talks about the future, but Yoon Seok-yeol only talks about the past, such as retaliation," Yoon said on SNS, "'Future' is not a term that can be used to cover up the Daejang-dong gate." I even objected to getting it.



Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate of the People's Party, met with young people by holding a book concert with Jin Joong-kwon, a former professor of Dongyang University.



Candidate Ahn said, "Right now, the people are being forced to choose between drunk drivers and novice drivers," claiming that he is the right person to change the imperial presidential system.
