On the morning of the 23rd, Park Chan-jin, secretary-general of the National Election Commission, is meeting with Rep. Lee Man-hee, secretary-general of the National Assembly’s Public Administration and Security Committee, who visited the National Election Commission in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, regarding North Korea’s hacking attempts and suspicions of preferential employment for the secretary-general’s children. yunhap news
Secretary-General Park Chan-jin and Deputy Secretary-General Song Bong-seop resigned together due to suspicion of ‘preferential hiring of children’, and the National Election Commission, which is in crisis, is trying to fill the leadership vacuum. Regarding the successor appointment, some voices in the ruling party say, “We need to prepare a check mechanism through the selection of external personnel, not internal promotion.”
According to the National Election Commission on the 28th, the National Election Commission will hold a full committee meeting on the 1st of next month to officially process the dismissal of President Park and Deputy Director Song. After the two announced their joint resignation on the 25th, they officially accepted the resignation in a week and started to reorganize the system. The National Election Commission is in the position that it will promptly proceed with the process of forming a system for acting president and deputy head and appointing a successor, starting with the handling of the dismissal bill.
However, from the formation of the acting agency system, the NEC is struggling. The National Election Commission Act and the directive stipulate that the deputy director should act as the deputy director when the president is not present, and the head of the Planning and Coordination Office when the deputy chief is not present, respectively, but this is the first time such a joint vacancy has occurred. An official from the National Election Commission said, “Nothing has been confirmed yet as there are no clear regulations or precedents.” It does,” he said.
The Election Commission’s own ▶Comprehensive investigation on the preferential recruitment of employees’ children of grade 5 or higher and ▶special audits of high-ranking executives of the Election Commission, such as President Park, Deputy Director Song, and Jeju Standing Committee member Shin Woo-yong, who are suspected of ‘Dad Chance’, are also being delayed than originally planned. An official from the National Election Commission said, “We expected the results of the special audit to come out early next month, but the scope has been expanded to include the children of executives of the Gyeongnam National Election Commission. ” he said.
On the morning of the 23rd, members of the People’s Power of the National Assembly’s Public Administration and Security Committee, including Rep. Lee Man-hee, visited the Central Election Commission in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, and are talking with Secretary-General Park Chan-jin. People’s Power criticized the Election Commission’s refusal of the National Intelligence Service’s security inspection consulting in connection with North Korean hacking attacks and the suspicion of preferential recruitment of children of high-ranking officials in the Election Commission. news 1
Unlike the National Election Commission, which is trying to speed up normalization through proxy appointments, in the passport, it is pointed out that “it is not too late to start appointments after seeing the results of a full 5th grade investigation or audit” (a senior official in the power of the people). The official said, “In a situation where preferential recruitment is suspected of de facto organizational deviation, it is clear that more suspicions will emerge if the results of the 5th grade investigation are announced.” insisted.
In some parts of the power of the people, voices are also growing that “an outside person must take over as the secretary general.” In the structure where an incumbent justice of the Supreme Court concurrently serves as the head of the election committee, the secretary general, who is the de facto number one in the organization, has usually been filled with ‘internal promotion’. However, the view of the ruling party is that this personnel practice strengthened the side effect that the NEC is not subject to external surveillance and checks because it is an independent organization under the constitution and festers internally.
People’s Power Senior Spokesman Kang Min-guk said, “The moral hazard of the National Election Commission is prevalent, so I think it has already missed the time to operate on its own.” Another lawmaker belonging to the leadership of the hospital said, “The NEC was an indisputable institution, and there was no checking device at all.” However, the leadership of the people’s power is spreading caution, saying, “It is difficult to talk about external selection easily.”

In the passport, the NEC is also under pressure to “receive an external investigation.” The National Election Commission refuses external audits in the name of being an independent organization under the constitution. A key official in the power of the people emphasized, “In order to cut out the standing water, it is not enough to do self-investigation or audit alone.”
There is also an interpretation that the all-round offensive targeting the National Election Commission is “actually a paving stone for ‘reducing power’ against Election Commissioner Roh Tae-ak.” Chairman Roh, who took office on the nomination of Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo in May of last year, at the end of the Moon Jae-in administration, and is guaranteed a six-year term, will manage the general elections in April next year. An official from People’s Power said, “Chairman Roh is a key figure in the Moon Jae-in administration.”

On the 25th, when the two leaders of the National Election Commission resigned at the same time, CEO Kim Ki-hyun also targeted Chairman Roh and said, “Why are you sitting there?” It would be better to give up the position.”
