Asan Mayor Park Kyung-gui decided today whether to "invalidate the election."

The Supreme Court's final judgment will come out today against Asan Mayor Park Kyung-gui, who was indicted on charges of publishing false information in the 2022 local elections and sentenced to invalidity of election in the first, second, and remand trials.

From 11:15 a.m. today (8th), the Supreme Court will proceed with the judgment of Mayor Park's appeal on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act.

Mayor Park was put on trial for raising suspicions of real estate speculation against his opponent, former Asan Mayor Oh Se-hyun, ahead of the last local election.

After that, the first and second trials sentenced a fine of 15 million won, which was invalidated by the election, but in January, the Supreme Court overturned the second trial ruling and returned the case to the Daejeon High Court.

The intention was that there was an illegality in the lower court procedure, but we did not decide whether to invalidate the election or not.

Mayor Park appealed again when he was fined 15 million won during the subsequent remand trial.

If the Supreme Court confirms a fine of more than 1 million won for violating the Public Official Election Act, Mayor Park will lose his position as mayor.
