The power of the people 4/7 Oh Se-hoon (60), former mayor of Seoul, was chosen as a candidate for the by-election of the mayor of Seoul. By defeating former legislator Na Gyeong-won, who was dominant in the preliminary races and debates, he crossed the first door to the third challenge for mayor. The interest centers on whether candidate Oh returns to the mayor of Seoul after 10 years of going beyond the second gate to unify the opposition candidates to the final. When candidate Oh, who is listed as a centrally minded person within the power of the people, is selected, the competition is expected to develop for the unification of opposition candidates with Ahn Chul-soo, who also defends the center.
Se-Hoon Oh, landslide victory in ‘extraordinary’ opinion polls
As a result of the Seoul mayor’s election, the power of the people on that day, candidate Oh registered 41.64% of the vote, beating former lawmaker Na, who was only 36.31%. This is the result of a 100% citizen opinion poll that did not reflect the party’s feelings. Former legislator Na, who was ahead of the party’s decision throughout the race, showed dominance, but in an investigation targeting ordinary citizens, candidate Oh succeeded in overthrowing. Immediately after the announcement of the results, candidate Oh was shocked and said: “I am sorry for 10 years.
Candidate Oh’s ‘surprise victory’ is largely counted as three reasons. ① This is the result of capturing the ‘central vote’. Throughout the race, Candidate Oh brought “central expansion” to the fore, saying: “As a warm conservative and a reformist conservative, we have preserved the value of a pragmatic center-right that stands behind the lives of citizens rather than division and political struggle.. “This highlights the fact that the power of the people is more competitive than other candidates in the final party against Ahn and the opposition candidates and Park Young-sun and the Democratic Party candidates. When considering the victory of the Candidate Power of the People from the point of view of a general citizen, not a party member, this is an assessment that Oh’s argument sounded attractive enough.
② This is the result of people’s sentiment in anticipation of an election that the opposition will win. Candidate Oh has emphasized achieving “beautiful unity” with Representative Ahn throughout the race. He said he avoided division for victory in the opposition to the extent that he proposed a ‘conditional race’ to CEO Ahn first, and again expressed his determination to achieve “unification by all means” on this day. A party official said: “I, a former legislator, have a militant image, like setting a corner with the ruling party while serving as the ‘Free Korean Party’, but candidate Oh has a strong image and the ability to attract the public. . “He said:” You were not given a vote by a person who can achieve the unification of the opposition, right? ”
③ He was the only experienced mayor of Seoul. The elected mayor of Seoul, who has been elected for a one-year term, must clear up a confusing remedy due to former mayor Park Won-soon’s sex scandal and get results in a short period of time. In this sense, candidate Oh is the only person with experience who served as mayor of Seoul twice in 2006 and 2010. It is a strong point that there are no candidates for opposition parties. There is an ‘original sin’, in which candidate Oh threw the mayoral seat in relation to the free food vote in 2011, but the political experience he presented through past correctional experience throughout the race was superior to that of other candidates.
Ahn Cheol-soo tries to keep the Tories, Oh Se-hoon tries to expand by half
With the victory of Candidate Oh, the competition to unify the opposition candidates became interesting. This is because a subtle difference can determine the game in the sense that it is a unified competition between Representative Ahn trying to right-click the middle and Candidate Oh trying to expand in the middle based on the conservatives. A people’s power official said the day that “the ‘half-pay’ image of the two people overlaps, so competition in the ‘half-expansion’ dimension will not be of great importance.” From Ahn’s point of view, it got a bit more difficult.
In recent polls of Seoul mayoral candidates, Ahn is leading the way. It is a position that candidate Oh must achieve, but it is the first opposition party. Candidate Oh is also not a bad fit for Kim Jong-in, who has been attacking the middle class since the beginning of his inauguration last year. An official from President Kim’s side said that day: “President Kim saw that the former mayor would be better off running (as the final candidate)” and said: “(In terms of unifying the opposition), it is not bad for the strength of the people Candidate Oh also said, “I will cooperate closely and consult with President Kim.”
Both Candidate Oh and Representative Ahn showed confidence in the negotiations for the candidate’s unification. Candidate Oh said that day: “I strongly believe in unification with Representative Ahn and do not doubt it” and “I want to meet (with Representative Ahn) as soon as possible.” Representative Ahn also reaffirmed his strong commitment to unification, saying, “I look forward to meeting with Candidate Oh as soon as possible.”
