The National Assembly conducted a full meeting in the afternoon of the 11th to hear an update regarding the call for a legislative investigation into the voting material shortfall that occurred during the June 3 municipal elections.
Previously, on the 8th, all 161 legislators from the Democratic Party of Korea and all 110 members from the People Power Party independently filed inquiry proposals with National Assembly Speaker Cho Jeong-sik.
Under the National Assembly Audit and Investigation Act, when a parliamentary inquiry request is filed, the Speaker is required to immediately present it before the full assembly and form a committee to carry out the examination following discussions with every negotiating faction. The investigation commences once the committee presents and gains authorization for an investigative proposal detailing the range, procedures, timeframe, and additional specifics.
As such, the governing and opposition parties are anticipated to begin thorough discussions regarding the extent and procedures of the legislative inquiry from the afternoon of the same day.
