The two presidential candidates, Lee Jae-myung and Ahn Cheol-soo, closely adhered to the “unified government in the final round of voting to change the political era,” and joined the nominations in the by-election.
Candidate Ahn (Kookmin Party) criticized the 'shut up and change of government' and announced on the 25th that he would become the 'responsible minister of the unified cabinet' during the presidential election.
Candidate Lee (with the Democratic Party) announced at an emergency conference on the 26th that "the Democratic Party will put it down first" in "The 3040th Minister of the Unified Government, Suspension of Negatives, Political Innovation in Yeouido, a party of vested interests" in the "Great Transformation of Political Change".
At the candidate debate on the 20th, Candidate Ahn proposed a "runoff vote" in the indirect election system, saying, "After being elected, I will step down cleanly if I do not receive 50% or more of the public's trust through the survey method agreed upon by the ruling and opposition parties after being elected."
In an emergency meeting on the 25th, Democratic Party leader Song Young-gil announced that he would not run for the next general election in the 'no-nomination' of the parliamentary by-election at an emergency conference on the 25th, and approached the 'change of times' with “a massive nomination of young people in 2030.”
Candidate Ahn had a dinner meeting with Candidate Seok-Yeol Yoon (People's Power) on July 7 last year and announced, "We have confirmed the commonalities of regime change."
In an announcement on the 25th, Candidate Ahn announced the formation of an integrated cabinet, saying, "The change of government starts with the competitiveness of the opposition candidate and the candidate of the ruling party."
On the 26th, Ahn's election chairman Choi Jin-seok said, "The standard at best is 'replacement of government' or 'maintenance of government'.
He showed off his closeness to the candidates by criticizing voters in 'Replacement of Government' and 'Maintaining Government'.
