PPP divided over fielding unified candidacy

후보 단일화 놓고 국민의힘 내부서도 의견 갈려


By Kwon Mee-yoo

Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate the minor opposition People's Party, made clear that he will be in the presidential race all the way to the end, denying speculation that he would consider fielding a unified candidacy with the main opposition People Power Party (PPP).
국민의당 안철수 대선 후보가 국민의힘과의 후보 단일화를 검토할 것이라는 관측을 부인하며 대선 레이스를 완주하겠다는 의지를 분명히 했다.


In an MBN television show Sunday, Ahn said voters will choose the candidate who is the most qualified on the day of the election. When asked about a unified candidacy, he said his goal is not just finishing the race but winning it.
안 후보는 일요일 MBN TV 프로그램에 출연해 선거 당일 유권자들은 가장 자격을 갖춘 후보를 뽑을 것이라고 말했다. 후보 단일화에 대한 질문에 안 후보는 "완주가 목표가 아니라 당선이 목표"라고 말했다.


With his remarks, he flatly denied the rumor about a unified candidacy with the PPP, which emerged again on Sunday after a PPP member floated the possibility.
안 후보는 국민의힘에서 단일화 가능성을 제시해 일요일 다시금 단일화 소문이 나돌자 이 발언으로 단일화를 전면 부인했다.


Later in the day, Ahn told reporters that he would no longer mention fielding a unified candidacy, noting that there is no consensus within the PPP on doing so.
안 후보는 이날 오후 기자들과 만나 국민의힘 내부에서 단일화에 대한 합의가 이뤄지지 않고 있다며 더 이상 단일화를 거론하지 않겠다고 밝혔다.


"What am I supposed to say when PPP people out there are fighting each other without having a consensus on the issue," he said.
안 후보는 "국민의힘 내에서도 서로 의견이 달라서 서로 싸우는데 무슨 말을 하겠나"라고 단일화와 관련해 입장을 밝혔다.
