PPP Calls on Supreme Court to Issue Ruling on Lee Jae-myung’s Election Law Violations Before June 3rd Election
The PPP knows that the Supreme Court ruling is the only way they have any chance of beating Lee Jae-myung in the upcoming Presidential election:
The conservative People Power Party criticized the liberal Democratic Party on Sunday for remaining “a one-man system” after its former leader, Lee Jae-myung, was chosen as the party’s presidential candidate, calling for a court ruling on Lee before the June election.
The criticism came just hours after Lee secured the party’s presidential nomination. He is currently the front-runner in opinion polls for the upcoming presidential election, which follows the ouster of PPP-affiliated former President Yoon Suk Yeol for his shocking martial law imposition in December.
“There is no courage or system left within the DP to put the brakes on the Lee Jae-myung party. All that remains now are countless risks,” PPP spokesperson Shin Dong-wook said in a release.
Claiming that the DP is “displaying arrogance as if it has already seized power,” the PPP urged the Supreme Court to deliver a verdict on Lee before the June 3 presidential election to “let the people know the truth and make the right choice.”
The top court has expedited its review of alleged election law violations involving Lee, referring his election law violation case to the full bench last week and holding deliberation sessions.
The case has posed a major legal hurdle for Lee, and the timing and outcome of the ruling could affect his eligibility.
