[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the Future United Party, declared an all-out battle against former lawmaker Min Kyung-wook, who claims 'election manipulation theory' within the party, saying, "We must eliminate the rumor-mongering forces within the party."

On the 31st at 11 a.m., Ha will hold a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Office regarding former lawmaker Min. He is expected to point out the falsehood of the 'election manipulation theory' raised by Min and demand his expulsion from the party.

Ha also said on Facebook the day before, "For the innovation of the opposition party, we must first eliminate the rumor-mongering forces within the party," adding, "The reason for the Future United Party's crushing defeat in the last general election was not because the Democratic Party did well, but because we failed to innovate."

He said, "There were many who wanted to turn away from the Democratic Party after the Cho Kuk incident, but when they looked at the Future United Party, they found equally unlikable conservative figures, so they either returned to the Democratic Party or became non-respondents," and added, "Even now, people who turned away after seeing Yoon Mi-hyang are going back to the Democratic Party or becoming non-respondents after seeing Min Kyung-wook, so despite the high volume of criticism against the Democratic Party, the party's approval rating does not rise."

Ha mentioned the phrase 'Follow the party,' which former lawmaker Min presents as evidence of election manipulation by hackers, saying, "If we cannot expel a rumor-monger who claims that Chinese hackers manipulated the election while saying 'Follow the party,' innovation in the Future United Party is far off," and added, "I will also take the lead in national innovation to overcome the COVID-19 era well."

In response, former lawmaker Min said on Facebook, "I tried so hard not to engage with this person, but he keeps bothering me," and added, "I am very much looking forward to revealing evidence that the phrase 'Follow the party' was manipulated."
