[Asia Economy Reporters Lee Ji-eun and Kim Hye-min] Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the United Future Party, expressed concerns about election neutrality, stating that despite blatant election interference against party candidates, the police and the election commission have not intervened, openly allowing such actions to continue.

At the party's election committee meeting held at the National Assembly on the 26th, Leader Hwang said, "Even before the official start of the election, there are already incidents that raise doubts about fair elections."

He pointed out recent election interference against his party candidates, including Assemblymen Oh Se-hoon and Na Kyung-won, emphasizing, "Election interference against our party candidates is being openly neglected," and added, "Due to blatant election interference, we are unable to properly conduct our morning greetings."

Leader Hwang stated, "The Prime Minister, the Minister of the Interior and Safety, and the Minister of Justice, who oversee the election, are all politicians from the Democratic Party," and expressed, "Concerns about election neutrality have existed for some time, but there is a very strong worry that these concerns are becoming reality."

He urged, "We clearly remember the Ulsan election fraud incident during the last local elections, and if this general election becomes a repeat of the Ulsan election, the public will not forgive it," and called on President Moon to "firmly maintain election neutrality and declare his commitment to fair elections to the people."

Additionally, Leader Hwang said, "Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Cheonan sinking, and tomorrow is the Day of West Sea Defense. We will not forget the noble sacrifices of our young soldiers for national security," and emphasized, "The North Korea policy of this administration over the past three years has completely failed, and a major shift in diplomatic and security policy is necessary. The United Future Party will definitely win this general election to restore our national security and diplomacy to normal."
