New Reform Party presidential candidate Lee Jun-seok has made clear that his name will be on the ballot for the June 3 presidential election, refusing the People Power Party’s calls to field a single candidate. 

In an emergency news conference held at the National Assembly on Thursday, Lee said he will, without a doubt, win the presidential race under the name of the New Reform Party. 

His comments came after the People Power Party repeatedly urged Lee that they field a single candidate ahead of Sunday when election ballots will go into print.

Lee said the reason his party is not wavering in the face of outside pressure is because it has a certain vision for the country. 

Lee said recent polls show that the strategic move to pick him is the only winning equation to beat Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung, adding that the time is drawing near to make that strategic choice.
