Rep. Lee Chul-kyu, who is considered to be a pro-Yoon-seok faction of the people, refuted Lee Joon-seok's claim that President Yoon interfered in the nomination during the 2022 local elections when he was elected, saying that it did not happen.
In a radio interview, Lee said, "I am well aware of the election process for Pohang mayor, but it never happened."
Rep. Lee explained that the answer becomes clear when looking back on whether the then president-elect was able to convey such an opinion to Rep. Lee Joon-seok.
This is interpreted to mean that the two people were not able to ask for a favor because they did not get along well.Despite the allegation that President
Yoon demanded former Mayor Kim Tae-woo as a candidate for Gangseo-gu District Office in Seoul, he added that he was known to have been nominated by external forces, saying he was a person who served as a special inspector in the Moon Moon Jae In administration and became a big push for the change of power.
