[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] Yang Seung-jo, Governor of Chungnam Province, who declared his candidacy for the presidential election, announced his pledge for the 'Yoon Seok-yeol and Choi Jae-hyung Prevention Act' at the National Assembly Communication Office on the 27th, which restricts high-ranking officials of investigative agencies from running for election during their term of office.


Governor Yang stated, "We must restore the abnormal state of the public service caused by former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and Audit Office Chief Choi Jae-hyung to normal," adding, "The 'Yoon Seok-yeol and Choi Jae-hyung Prevention Act' is necessary to fundamentally block the bizarre political interference and illegal activities using the duties and powers of public office granted by the people."



This bill was also proposed by former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk.
