Let's discuss the presidential election news with Lee Hyun-young, a reporter from the Political Department.



Q. Ahn Cheol-soo, who has resigned, who will it go to?



[Reporter Lee Hyeon-young: Once candidate Ahn Cheol-soo resigned, it became a favorable composition for candidate Yoon Seok-yeol. This is an atmosphere that both the ruling and opposition parties acknowledge.

A key official in the People's Power said that elections are structured in a structured way, but there is a huge difference between holding an election in a multilateral way and in fact holding it in a bilateral way.

He said that he was expecting the effect of the convention, in which the approval rate increased by at least 1.5 to 3%.



However, since support for Ahn Cheol-soo personally and support for the Third Zone are the same among the supporters of Ahn, it is unknown whether the approval rate of Candidate Ahn will be transferred to Candidate Seok-Yeol Yoon directly.

There are already people leaving the party saying they are disappointed with Ahn.

There is also a forecast that the unification will raise the awareness of crisis among the Democratic Party supporters and trigger a rally at the voting booth.]



Q. Ahn Cheol-soo, did you say, “I will finish this time”?



[Reporter Lee Hyeon-young: As you may have seen in the previous campaign remarks, after a year, you will want to cut off that person's finger, and it's not a regime change, it's a corruption change.

The situation in which Candidate Ahn retreated from a decisive phase after entering politics due to these remarks was also highlighted on the Internet a lot today.

In 2011, he handed over his candidacy to then-candidate Park Won-soon as mayor of Seoul, unification with Moon Jae-in of the Democratic United Party in 2012, and unification with opposition candidate Oh Se-hoon in the last Seoul mayoral by-election. ]



Q. Ahn Cheol-soo, what was the background of the decision to unify despite criticism?



[Reporter Lee Hyun-young: Today, right after the unification press conference, candidate Ahn Cheol-soo held a closed meeting with the people of the People's Party.

Candidate Ahn spoke first for about 30 minutes, and then the participants took turns talking.

After doing some coverage of these participants, they said that there were reactions like whether a joint government was possible, disappointing.

Also, candidate Ahn cannot think only of himself.

Practically, in the present form, polysaccharide system is impossible.



Candidate Ahn was also burdened by the fact that he had to bear the cost of the election if his approval rating, which had fallen to the single digit, showed no sign of rebounding, and if he insisted on completing the race and the final turnout did not exceed 10%.

Rep. Lee Tae-gyu, who went into consultation with the power of the people, said that even if he did not like it for a regime change, he could not turn away from the public sentiment to join forces with Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, and that the candidate who knew that pressure always had that kind of pressure.]
