[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee, Uijeongbu=Reporter Hyunji Kwon] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, criticized the Central Election Commission on the 6th, saying, "If the Election Commission rots, democracy collapses," referring to the poor management of early voting for COVID-19 confirmed patients the previous day.

At a campaign site set up in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province, Candidate Yoon questioned, "Is our Election Commission really a proper Election Commission?" and pointed out, "The country is festering and bruised, but the extent is too severe."

He said, "There were problems with confirmed patient voting in several places yesterday," and added, "This is a scheme by those skilled in manipulation to divide the People Power Party's support base." He continued, "We will thoroughly block this and, if the people replace the regime, we will investigate the circumstances thoroughly."

Candidate Yoon further emphasized, "If you vote, we will win," and "We can send home these corrupt and ill-mannered rotten factions of Lee Jae-myung's Democratic Party." He also criticized, saying, "If you neglect voting, you will have to endure this bad situation for another five years," and "Then this country will become chronically ill."

Regarding North Korea's missile tests, he said, "They are provocations to instill anxiety among the people of the Republic of Korea ahead of the election," and "Kim Jong-un is firing like that with the calculation that if the people are anxious, they will support the current regime." Candidate Yoon added, "If you entrust me with the government, I will make even such ill-mannered behavior come to its senses."
