South Korean opposition wins parliamentary vote in landslide | BBC News


South Korea’s liberal opposition party has won a landslide majority in the country’s general election to retain control of parliament.

The Democratic Party (DPK) and smaller opposition parties jointly won 192 of 300 seats in the National Assembly.

The vote is widely seen as a midterm referendum on President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has three years left in office.

His party leader Han Dong-hoon has resigned and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo has offered to resign.

The DPK’s win means they will be able to fast-track and push legislation through parliament.
