Reform Party candidate Lee Jun-seok again rejects merger idea, reaches out to centrist voters

Also on the campaign trail.

Reform Party candidate Lee Jun-seok has rejected yet again calls for a coalition by PPP contender Kim Moon-soo , as we just heard.

Speaking here in Seoul earlier today, Lee brushed aside attempts by the main conservative camp to seek a merger.

Lee currently ranks third in public polls and has shared hopes to see his standing rise after the remaining two live TV debates.

Later in the day, he headed to Seongnam where he sat down with students at Gachon University and toured Seongnam Medical Center.
