[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Son Geum-ju, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea (Naju·Hwasun, Jeollanam-do, National Assembly Budget and Accounts Special Committee, Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock, Food, and Maritime Affairs Committee), urged on the 27th to "immediately stop the illegal interference in the primary elections by incumbent city, county, and provincial council members of Naju and Hwasun."
Rep. Son Geum-ju pointed out, "Despite the ethical code issued on the 3rd under the name of Yoon Ho-jung, Secretary-General of the Democratic Party of Korea, prohibiting incumbent city, county, and provincial council members from interfering in elections and supporting specific candidates, there have been continuous phone calls encouraging support for certain candidates, drawing criticism."
In particular, as the primary election approaches, the acts of promoting specific candidates and appealing for support through phone calls, text messages, and SNS are becoming increasingly severe, and she requested measures from the central party regarding this issue.
