The Democratic Party of Korea said negotiations with the Cho Kuk Innovation Party to unify the opposition candidates broke down ahead of the by-election for the head of Busan's Geumjeong-gu district office on the 16th.
Speaking to reporters at the National Assembly, spokesman Kim Sung-hoe said there were disagreements with the Innovation Party's central party over whether to put anti-choice clauses in the polls for unification after last night's agreement between candidates from both parties.
He then argued that the poll for the unification of the opposition party has never included the supporters of the people's power, and that the anti-choice clause must be included in accordance with the custom.
Cho Kuk, leader of the Innovation Party, told the Supreme Council that the unification of opposition candidates should be a winning unification, and asked the two sides to reach a bold settlement on a grand scale, although detailed negotiations have not been completed.
