Former contenders of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl in the main opposition People Power Party’s primary, including his closest opponent Hong Joon-pyo, have conceded to Yoon as the party’s presidential candidate.
Hong, who finished in a close second by garnering 41-point-five percent of the votes, immediately accepted the results during the national convention on Friday.
Congratulating Yoon for winning the election, the veteran five-term lawmaker said he fulfilled his duties in raising interest in the party’s primary and asked the public and party members to work together to bring about a change in administration.
Former lawmaker Yoo Seong-min and former Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong, who finished in a distant third and fourth, respectively, also conceded their campaigns and stressed harmony and unity among party members to win the presidential election.
