Opposition cooperation failed, adding variables to South Korea's presidential election
2022-02-21
As South Korea's presidential election enters the countdown, whether the two candidates with the highest support rate in the opposition camp work together against the candidates of the ruling party has become a focus topic. An Zheshu, the presidential candidate of the national party who previously proposed to join hands, announced on the 20th that he would give up his willingness to cooperate and complete the election alone. According to South Korean media, this makes the white hot presidential election more uncertain, which means that the result of this "confrontation between the government and the opposition" is more and more difficult to predict. South Korea's presidential election is scheduled to be held on March 9. Li Zaiming, the presidential candidate of the ruling Democratic Party and former Gyeonggi Do governor, is regarded as the popular successor of Wen in the moon Jae in the current president. His main rival is the largest opposition party candidate for national power, Yin Xiyue, the former attorney general. In addition, National Party presidential candidate an Zhexiu and Justice Party candidate Shen Xiangyun also participated in the competition. With the election date approaching, the voice of the opposition camp calling for Yin Xiyue to cooperate with an Zheshu is rising. The two "joined hands against Li" is regarded as the most powerful guarantee for the change of the ruling party. An Zhexiu put forward his willingness to cooperate on the 13th, but Yin Xiyue still didn't respond a week later. An Zhexiu held a press conference on the 20th and announced that he would give up joining hands with Yin Xiyue: "in the past week, the largest opposition party has fully and clearly demonstrated that they have no willingness and sincerity to cooperate by not responding and spreading false news. Therefore, after the funeral last night, I figured it out. It's meaningless to continue to wait." An Zheshu's presidential election was a bad start. On the first day of campaign publicity, the news of the death of two campaign team members was exposed. The two were found dead in a campaign car on the 15th. It was preliminarily determined that the death was due to the inhalation of toxic gas from the generator. An Zheshu then suspended his election campaign and restarted the campaign on the 19th after attending their funerals. South Korean media reported that although Yin Xiyue did not officially respond to an Zheshu's cooperation proposal, his national power party has repeatedly stressed that an Zheshu's plan is lack of feasibility and fairness. In the context of Yin Xiyue's "leading" a number of polls, the national power party will not accept an Zheshu's plan to determine a single candidate by "polling campaign". The national power party once believed that an Zheshu would withdraw from the election in the event of a tragedy in the election team and support Yin Xiyue instead. An Zheshu vowed to continue to complete the election process: "although there may be difficulties ahead, I will also stick to my own way." The ruling party was slightly relieved by an Zhexiu's decision. In the view of the common Democratic Party, the cooperation between an Zheshu and Yin Xiyue will be the last thing li Zaiming wants to see. A member of the co Democratic Party campaign team said: "candidate Li Zaiming's approval rating may surpass in the next few weeks." According to the results of the poll released by the Korean public opinion survey company "real meter" on the 20th, Yin Xiyue's support rate was 42.9%, ranking first among all candidates; Li Zaiming ranked second with a support rate of 38.7%.
