Na Kyung-won: Oh Se-hoon would win landslide even in by-election; blames President Lee for June 3rd election fraud

Na Kyung-won, a member of the People Power Party, stated that Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon would secure an overwhelming victory if a by-election were held. She also labeled the June 3rd local elections as fraudulent due to insufficient ballot papers, placing the blame squarely on President Lee Jae-myung.

Na addressed claims that Mayor Oh could not run again if he resigned and a by-election was called, citing the three-term limit for local government heads. She argued this is a misinterpretation of the law, as the limit is based on the number of terms served, not just elections won. Therefore, even if Oh resigned before July 1st, he would not exceed the three-term limit and would be eligible to run in a by-election.

If a fair and transparent election is held now, with the public's attention focused, Mayor Oh could reaffirm his legitimacy with even greater support and an overwhelming victory.

"If a fair and transparent election is held now, with the public's attention focused, Mayor Oh could reaffirm his legitimacy with even greater support and an overwhelming victory," Na asserted. She emphasized that the more critical issue is how to manage the "worst 'June 3rd election fraud disaster' in constitutional history," thoroughly investigate the truth, and hold those responsible accountable.

The person who should step down immediately, the person who should be banned from leaving the country and thoroughly investigated, is actually Standing Commissioner Wi Cheol-hwan, the actual power holder, rather than non-standing Chairman Noh Tae-hak.

Na specifically targeted Standing Commissioner Wi Cheol-hwan, stating he holds significant power within the Election Commission. She claimed Wi is a close associate and dining companion of President Lee Jae-myung, having served as the Democratic Party's ethics committee chairman during Lee's tenure as party leader. Na described Wi as an overtly biased figure favoring President Lee.

"The person who should step down immediately, the person who should be banned from leaving the country and thoroughly investigated, is actually Standing Commissioner Wi Cheol-hwan, the actual power holder, rather than non-standing Chairman Noh Tae-hak," Na argued. She questioned the legitimacy of Wi's Election Commission investigating the situation, calling it "absurd" and stating they should confess and resign. Ultimately, Na held President Lee Jae-myung responsible for the entire affair, warning that if he allows the Election Commission, controlled by his associates, to cover up the alleged illegality and dereliction of duty, it would be a clear impeachable offense for abandoning his duty to uphold the constitution.

The ultimate responsibility for this entire situation lies with President Lee Jae-myung.
