Representative Ahn Cheol-soo of the People Power Party is scheduled to meet with Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon on the 24th.

A representative from Ahn's office stated, "Tomorrow (the 24th), we have decided to have lunch with Mayor Oh at Seoul City Hall."

This meeting comes just days after Ahn had lunch with former chairman Han Dong-hoon on the 19th. It is reported that during that time, Ahn and Han shared concerns about the recent rightward shift of the party.

Movements of 'Alliances' Among Non-Yoon Factions Ahead of the Party Convention

Within the People Power Party, it has been understood that a meeting between former chairman Han Dong-hoon and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min also took place earlier this month.

As significant figures with reformist tendencies continue their series of contacts, the meeting between Ahn and Mayor Oh has been successfully arranged.

In the political realm, interpretations are emerging that alliances among factions aiming for a non-Yoon or centrist expansion may be forming ahead of the party convention scheduled for the 22nd of next month.

In particular, the People Power Party is currently embroiled in a controversy over its identity, as the former Korean history lecturer Jeon Han-gil's membership admission has intensified fierce opposition and support factions.

Amid this, internal conflicts regarding the leadership's response have also emerged, leading to increased attention on the alliance movements of reform-oriented figures.
