Representative Ahn Cheol-soo, who has entered the race as a candidate for the People Power Party's presidential primary, said on the 15th regarding his rival, former Representative Han Dong-hoon, that he is "the easiest opponent" for former Democratic Party Representative Lee Jae-myung.
On this day, Representative Ahn posted on Facebook, saying, "Former Representative Han's candidacy is the biggest gift to Lee Jae-myung," and added, "A prosecutor like former Representative Han must never become our party's presidential candidate."
Representative Ahn noted, "Former Representative Han was a key figure of former President Yoon Suk-yeol," and stated, "If former Representative Han becomes our party's presidential candidate, the public will immediately feel rejection with thoughts like 'Is it Yoon Suk-yeol again?' and 'Is it another inexperienced prosecutor?'"
He further criticized, saying, "Former Representative Han, a prosecutor, is the symbol of the total failure in the general election, leading to the monstrosity of the conservative Chin Young. Yet, without reflection or introspection, trying to jump straight into the presidential race is the height of irresponsibility."
Representative Ahn also argued, "For someone with no verified political experience, national philosophy, or future vision to rely solely on 'bubble-like popularity' to become president is merely an instinctual desire for power."
He continued, "There is no way to win against Lee Jae-myung, and therefore there is a greater risk of plunging conservatism back into the abyss. If there is any minimal conscience for the party and the country, he must step down now."
Representative Ahn criticized, saying, "Even former Minister of Employment and Labor Kim Moon-soo and former Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo can be considered a comprehensive gift set for Lee Jae-myung," emphasizing that "Only I, Ahn Cheol-soo, with my expertise, morality, and the ability to expand the center, can defeat Lee Jae-myung and revitalize and rebuild our broken conservatism."
