In addition to the People Power Party's appointment of a special prosecutor recommended by the opposition party, the Democratic Party of Korea announced that it will pursue a special prosecutor to determine the truth about the ballot paper shortage in the June 3 local elections. The People Power Party welcomed this, but said that a special prosecutor recommended by the opposition party should be appointed. Han Byeong-do, acting leader of the Democratic Party and floor leader, said at a general meeting of lawmakers on the 29th, “The failure to properly prepare even the most basic ballot paper for election management undermines the public’s trust in the election.”
