The Democratic Party criticized the People Power Party on October 29 for its involvement in the public verification conducted by the special investigation team of the Election Commission at the Olympic Park polling station the previous day, calling it a "focus on provocation" and warning, "Do not use this as a means to maintain Jang Dong-hyuk's party leadership."
During a policy coordination meeting at the National Assembly, Han Byeong-do, the party's floor leader, stated, "While Jang has claimed verification through a special investigation, he has delayed the verification process by questioning the filming method once the special investigation began. We demand an end to this irresponsible politics that uses the public's distrust as a means to extend political life and undermines citizens' voting rights."
Han emphasized that with the national audit concluded, it is now time to focus on next year's budget and legislation for people's livelihoods. He urged, "Promise to fully accept the results of the special investigation's verification and investigation. Return to the National Assembly and cooperate in reforming the Election Commission."
Cheon Jun-ho, the party's deputy floor leader, pointed out, "The special investigation conducted a public verification lasting 13 hours yesterday, which was observed by Jang and the People Power Party's observers. However, Jang and the party leadership obstructed the removal of ballots overnight."
He added, "This verification was directly observed by the People Power Party. If they reject even this result, one must ask if they are afraid the truth about baseless election fraud will be revealed. Jang is not a street agitator but the leader of a political party. He should stop clinging to the embers of electoral defeat and show responsible leadership."
