Seoul’s Mayor Oh Se-hoon addressed People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyeok on the 27th, stating, “I would like to wear a red sweater. Please allow me to do so,” emphasizing his repeated demands for a shift in direction.
During a visit to SBS Radio that morning, Mayor Oh answered the host’s question, “What would you do if Leader Jang comes to Seoul to campaign during the election period?” by stating, “I would also like to invite him,” but then mentioned, “However, I would appreciate it if he arrived in a different form. That is what I have been consistently asking for.”
He also suggested organizing an independent election via a different election committee, separate from the central one, should there be no modifications. Mayor Oh remarked, “The central party’s election committee should not neglect its responsibility in guiding national elections towards a centrist approach,” and further noted, “If this proves challenging, it is only logical for Seoul City to establish a moderate expansion election committee at the municipal level.”
In response to a question suggesting, “If changes don’t happen until the end of the election period, are you determined to hold an election exclusively under Oh Se-hoon, separate from Leader Jang?” he replied, “We would have no option but to split. If that occurs, we will be forced to go our separate ways.”
Regarding the “innovative election strategy committee,” which Mayor Oh had insisted on as a requirement during the nomination process, he explained, “The name becomes evident when described properly,” and called it a “moderate expansion election committee.”
He stated, “A foundation for success can only be built by broadening the centrist base once the party’s current supporters are secured,” and further noted, “The moderate expansion election committee focuses on bringing in individuals with a centrist image who can guide the election according to their own identity and vision.”
However, when questioned about possible candidates for the committee, he remarked, “Identifying particular people might result in confusion,” and added, “It would not be suitable to keep bringing up names. Whether they are inside or outside the party, I think the leader should be someone who can represent symbolic centrist values in the capital region.”
