Kim Moon-soo, a candidate for the People Power Party's presidential primary, promised on the 2nd to abolish the controversial advance voting system and conduct the main voting over two days, applying the principle of reciprocity to foreign voting rights.
Kim noted in a press release on the same day that "the political, judicial, and election management systems of South Korea must change," announcing the political, judicial, and election plus espionage pledge containing this content. He added, "Public distrust is spreading throughout the election system."
He also said, "The privilege of immunity from arrest for members of Congress, which has become a symbol of a bulletproof Congress, must be abolished." Additionally, he stated, "The quorum for voting on constitutional judges recommended by the National Assembly should be strengthened to require the approval of more than two-thirds of the sitting members, so that the majority party can no longer unilaterally control constitutional institutions."
Kim said, "The public has come to know the incompetence of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) and the Democratic Party's audacity to obstruct the judiciary," pledging to abolish the CIO and establish a crime of judicial obstruction. He continued, "I will expand the definition of espionage in the Criminal Code from 'enemy country' to 'foreign country' and strengthen national security by restoring the counterintelligence investigation authority to the National Intelligence Service."
