Members of the Chungnam Provincial Council, including A, have been brought to trial on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act for illegally installing banners during the 22nd National Assembly election.

According to the legal community on the 23rd, the Hongseong Branch of the Daejeon District Prosecutors' Office recently indicted Chungnam Provincial Council member A and B, the head of the People Power Party's Seocheon office, without detention on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act.

Council member A and others are accused of illegally installing an election banner for Jang Donghyuk, then the People Power Party candidate, in front of a polling station in Pangyo-myeon, Seocheon-gun, on April 10, the voting day of the 22nd general election.
