The People Power Party emphasized that a rigorous audit must be conducted regarding the security inspection results of the National Election Commission.


On the 11th, the People Power Party members of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety Committee stated in a press release that a thorough audit of the Election Commission must be carried out during the upcoming National Election Commission audit. They said, "The joint security inspection results on the Election Commission conducted over approximately two months by the National Intelligence Service, the National Election Commission, and the Korea Internet & Security Agency are beyond disappointing and shocking," adding, "Both voting and counting processes were defenselessly vulnerable to hacking manipulation, and manipulation of the voter registry and seal theft were entirely possible. The password '12345' effectively shows a level of security abandonment."

The People Power Party members of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety Committee criticized, "The Democratic Party is making absurd demands and threats, such as limiting the questioning of National Election Commission Chairman No Tae-ak, who will appear at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety Committee audit on the 13th, to only two or three members, and threatening to send him away after a greeting speech if this is not accepted," adding, "The by-election for the Gangseo District Mayor is currently underway today, and the next general election is less than six months away. In this urgent situation, it is pathetic that the Democratic Party is zealously protecting the Election Commission and obstructing the committee members’ questioning during the National Assembly’s inherent duty of audit."


They continued, "Is this a time to be concerned about customs when public concern over election fraud is increasing?" and criticized, "The Democratic Party, which is repeating the now meaningless sophistry of the ‘constitutional institution,’ values Chairman No’s mood protection over the public’s right to know."


The People Power Party members of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety Committee said, "It is incomprehensible why the Democratic Party always goes into ‘bulletproof mode’ whenever the three words ‘Election Commission’ come up," and urged, "Instead of ‘protecting the Election Commission,’ please join us in ‘protecting the sovereignty of the people.’"



They emphasized, "We also tell Chairman No to give up any thoughts of just making a few greeting remarks, taking some photos, and leaving," and added, "On the 13th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety Committee must conduct a rigorous audit of the Election Commission, including Chairman No."
