Democratic Party and allies set to challenge President Yoon Suk-yeol’s agenda, but fall short of veto-proof majority
The main opposition Democratic Party (DP) has retained its majority in South Korea’s 22nd parliamentary election, with the ruling People Power Party (PPP) facing its third consecutive defeat.
The DP won 161 out of 254 directly contested seats in the National Assembly. In contrast, the PPP secured only 90 seats, primarily in its southeastern stronghold. Including proportional seats, the DP is expected to win 176 seats and the PPP 109 seats in the 300-member National Assembly.
