Yang Hyang-ja Preliminary Candidate "Central Party Election Commission Judges 'Not Subject to Warning'"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Democratic Party of Korea's Central Election Commission is reported to have judged that the complaint filed against Yang Hyangja, the preliminary candidate for Seo-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, does not warrant a warning.

On the 24th, Yang Hyangja issued a press release stating, "The Central Election Commission called to remind us to conduct fair elections in the future," and clarified, "There is no punishment such as a written warning, disqualification, expulsion petition, or criminal prosecution, and it was made clear that no such election fraud occurred."

This means that there was no misconduct serious enough to warrant a written notification of results, confirming that some candidates' allegations were merely excessive negative campaigning, according to a representative from Yang's election office.

On the 18th, a preliminary candidate reported Yang Hyangja to the Central Election Commission for "violation of neutrality during the primary" and "false information disclosure," and publicly announced the details through a statement.

In response, Yang Hyangja stated on the 20th, "Since the judgment of the Central Election Commission has become necessary, I have also requested the central party's judgment on the acts of suspicion raised by some preliminary candidates and various controversies."

Regarding this request, the Central Election Commission has not set a date but is reported to hold a committee meeting within two weeks to deliberate on the related agenda.
