Lee Jun-seok: "Min Kyung-wook's Conspiracy Theory... Party Leadership Concludes 'No Evidence'"
"United Party: No Intention to Support or Sympathize"
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lee Jun-seok, Supreme Council Member of the United Future Party, stated on the 14th regarding the election fraud allegations raised by Representative Min Kyung-wook, "The party leadership has concluded that there is no basis for these claims."
Lee said on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' program, "In Min's case, he is independently raising these issues together with YouTube channels, unrelated to the party," adding, "It is a judgment he can make as an individual, but the party has no intention to support or sympathize with it."
Lee revealed that immediately after the April 15 general election, when allegations of vote manipulation were raised, the Supreme Council requested the party's think tank, the Yeouido Research Institute, to verify the facts. However, he explained that since it was not an official procedure, no separate report was received.
Lee pointed out, "Those who continuously insisted on verifying the statistically suspicious parts of early voting, along with Representative Min, brought out the ballots from the main vote," calling it "a conspiracy theory that makes no logical sense."

Lee said, "Min brought the ballots and took an unreasonable step, and now he is in a situation where he must explain to investigative authorities," adding, "If it turns out that a party observer leaked them or they were leaked before the election, Min will be caught in a very big whirlpool."
