Democratic Party Urges People Power Party Leader Jang Dong-hyuk to Stop Inciting Election Fraud Claims

On the 26th, the Democratic Party urged People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk to stop inciting election fraud claims and to cooperate with the swift processing of a recount and a special counsel investigation. During his schedule in Daegu the previous day, Jang made remarks implying that voter turnout and vote counts could be arbitrarily manipulated.

Democratic Party Floor Spokesperson Kim pointed out that the party leader is spearheading the spread of a baseless conspiracy theory that even his own party members are distancing themselves from. Spokesperson Kim stated that undermining the foundations of democracy with false claims is clearly different from demanding a thorough investigation, and demanded that Jang stop his street-level agitation and return to the National Assembly's schedule.

The Democratic Party defined the opposition leader's dissemination of election fraud conspiracy theories as political agitation, and called for his cooperation in the National Assembly to process the recount and the special counsel investigation.
