Ahn Cheol-soo, candidate of the People's Party, withdrew the proposal to unify the opposition candidates.

Candidate Ahn pushed the people's power, saying, "I was not hesitant to do politics," but the people's power left the possibility open, saying, "Let's continue working together for regime change."

People's Party candidate Ahn Cheol-soo, who volunteered for an emergency press conference during the daytime yesterday (20th), declared the breakdown of unification of the opposition candidates.



[Ahn Cheol-soo/People's Party Presidential Candidate: I will organize the process and time that are no longer meaningless.

Even if it is rough and difficult, I will continue my path firmly.]



On the 13th, I withdrew the proposal to unify the poll method to People's Power candidate Yoon Seok-yeol on the 13th, just a week after it was announced.



Candidate Ahn first blamed the breakdown, saying, "There was no response from Candidate Yoon for a week."



He also explained the background to the people's power, saying, "He undermined the authenticity of the unification proposal and spread fake news."



[Ahn Cheol-soo/People's Party Presidential Candidate: (Accident at a car wash) He did not hesitate to do political misdeeds, such as spreading rumors of the resignation of the candidate and the high cost of the Gyeonggi governor.]



The power of the people was surprising and bewildered.



A key party official refuted Ahn's assertion that there was no response, saying, "Candidate Yoon made a phone call with Candidate Ahn in the morning and even offered to meet once."



Lee Yang-soo, senior spokesperson for the senior committee, said, "We have been in constant communication with Candidate Ahn."



[Lee Yang-soo/People's Power Senior Spokesperson: We must not disappoint the people who are demanding a regime change.

I hope that we will continue to work together for regime change in the future.]



The unification maginot line is until March 3, before the start of the early voting, so there is plenty of time.



The Democratic Party did not make an official position, but Song Young-gil, the leader of the party, said, "The Democratic Party is still ready to accept Ahn's agenda and form a unified government."
