The People's Power lawmakers of the National Assembly's Legislative and Judiciary Committee concluded that there was no possibility of violating the election law after reviewing their own laws over the recording of the phone call between President Yoon Suk Yeol and Myung Tae-kyun.
Rep. Yoo Sang-beom and others claimed that they must be public officials to apply Article 57 of the Public Official Election Act, which prohibits the party's primary campaign, and that the president was elected at the time.
He then emphasized that there is no violation of the election law that only conveyed opinions on nominations to the Nomination Management Committee.
In the meantime, Hyun Ki-hwan, then senior secretary for political affairs at the time of former President Park Geun Hye, handed over the so-called "pro-Park list" and suggested that the act of demanding the nomination was not recognized as a violation of the election law.
Another lawmaker, who was a lawyer, also told reporters that it would be a problem if they moved the national organization to side with one side or move the budget, but the elected status seems to be free in that area.
