People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyeok said on the 26th, regarding allegations that the National Election Commission manipulated turnout figures for the June 3 local elections, "The claim that calling it election fraud is a conspiracy theory has itself been proven to be a conspiracy theory."

That morning, Jang wrote on Facebook, "They insisted computer manipulation was impossible," and added, "But it turned out to be possible."

He was referring to indications uncovered during the joint police-prosecution investigation that a local election commission manipulated turnout and falsely reported and announced it.

Jang went on, "Who is right and who is wrong—the public now knows the truth," adding, "We must hurry with a special counsel. The joint investigation team and the court can no longer be trusted."

He added, "Until the day we reclaim the suffrage that was taken from us, until the day we restore Korea's democracy, the people's outcry will not stop," and said, "If this public voice is ignored, no one will escape judgment."

Meanwhile, Jang continues to attend rallies outside the National Assembly. After visiting Yongin on the 23rd, he visited Gimhae, South Gyeongsang, and Daegu on the 25th to attend a public resolution rally to restore suffrage and defend democracy.
