Lee Jun-seok continues voter outreach in Seoul capital area, rejects PPP's merger proposal

Reform Party candidate Lee Jun-seok will also stay in the capital area on Thursday as he continues to reach out to young voters and centrists.

He is scheduled to hold a discussion with Choi Won-il, former captain of the Cheonan warship, which was torpedoed by North Korea in 2010.

He will also continue meeting with students this time at Inha University.

Yesterday, People Power Party lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo met with Lee to persuade him to unify his candidacy with the PPP's Kim Moon-soo.

Lee once again rejected the idea, saying he is focused on a winning strategy.

His spokesperson said Wednesday that certain figures from the PPP proposed a merger in exchange for Lee Jun-seok's party leadership.
