Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, proposed a meeting on June 13 with Prime Minister Kim Min-seok and Jeong Cheong-rae, leader of the Democratic Party, regarding the shortage of ballots during the June 3 local elections. Jang emphasized, "Let’s discuss both the re-election and the special investigation, and I am open to any format of dialogue."
In a Facebook post, Jang stated, "There were 869 cases of twin votes nationwide, and 15 cases of triple votes were also reported. The Songpa District Election Commission was caught removing evidence even while a search was underway."
He continued, "Boxes of ballots that were said to be discarded have been found. In addition to Jeonbuk, 1,700 votes were missing in the Gyeonggi education superintendent election, and there were instances of votes being incorrectly entered by candidate. We must conduct nationwide re-elections immediately and launch a special investigation."
Jang noted that both Kim and Jeong had previously expressed their agreement on disbanding the Central Election Commission and initiating a special investigation. He urged, "Let’s meet today to discuss the re-election and the special investigation, regardless of the format."
He warned, "If you believe that you can block this with a majority of seats again, you are gravely mistaken. Go to Olympic Park and listen to the voices of the citizens. The public sentiment is boiling over across the nation, beyond just Jamsil. Ignoring the anger of the citizens will only lead to the downfall of the regime."
