The Seoul Metropolitan Election Commission judged that the People Power Party candidate Yoon Hee-sook of Seoul Middle School and Seongdong-gap described her opponent, Democratic Party candidate Jeon Hyun-hee as a “late leader” in public information, and it is difficult to regard it as false information. Accordingly, former candidate’s side announced that it plans to mobilize all legal means to uncover the facts.
On the 8th, the Seoul National Election Commission said, “After reviewing the submitted materials, explanation materials, and materials submitted by the Board of Audit and Inspection, it is difficult to view the information contained in the election bulletin regarding Jeon Hyun-hee’s tenure as chairman of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission as false.” Candidate Yoon’s side posted an official document from the Seoul National Election Commission containing this decision on Facebook on the 9th.
The former candidate’s attendance issues during his time as chairman of the Civil Rights Committee were revealed through a report by the Board of Audit and Inspection last year. According to this, the former candidate was late on 83 days (93.3%) out of 89 days when he had to go to work at the Civil Rights Commission office in the Sejong Complex, excluding days when he had an official external schedule or worked at the Seoul Government Complex.
Candidate Jeon’s side reported Candidate Yoon to the prosecution, saying, “As the result of the audit by the Board of Audit and Inspection made an unexamined decision, this clearly constitutes a crime of publicizing false information.” An objection was also filed with the Seoul Metropolitan Election Commission, claiming that the contents of Candidate Yoon’s public information were false.
Candidate Yoon said, “Someone raised an objection to the National Election Commission, saying that the content of my public information pointing out candidate Jeon Hyun-hee’s habitual tardiness was false. The National Election Commission did not reveal who that ‘someone’ was, but in any case, the National Election Commission said yesterday that there is no reason to regard this as false information. “I have reached a conclusion,” he said.
Candidate Yoon then said, “According to the results of the Board of Audit and Inspection report, the former candidate published in the election bulletin a statement pointing out that while he was serving as Chairman of the Civil Rights Commission, more than 90% of the days when he had no external schedules, he was late to work after 9 o’clock at the Sejong and Seoul government offices. “There is no problem at all,” he said, adding, “Candidate Jeon Hyun-hee must now openly reveal her involvement in poor attendance during her time as chairman of the Civil Rights Commission.”
Candidate Jeon’s side issued a statement on the same day, saying, “We will file an administrative trial with the National Election Commission and mobilize all legal disputes against the unfair Seoul National Election Commission’s primary decision to correct false facts and identify the truth until the end, holding both candidate Hee-sook Yoon and those involved accountable for their legal and political responsibility.” “We will thoroughly ask,” he said.
At the same time, “It is already well known that the audit committee, the highest decision-making body of the Board of Audit and Inspection, has made an unwritten decision that there is nothing illegal or unfair about the attendance of former Civil Rights Commission Chairman Jeon Hyun-hee, who was called a workaholic chairman because he worked day and night, even giving up weekends, and worked more diligently than anyone else. “It’s true,” he explained.
