A voter casts their ballot at a polling station in Seoul on April 10, 2024, during the parliamentary elections/AFPPix: South Korea's opposition bloc, including the main opposition Democratic Party , was expected to sweep as many as more than 200 seats in Wednesday's parliamentary elections in what would be a crushing defeat for the ruling People Power Party and President Yoon Suk Yeol.
TV exit polls showed that the DP and its sister Democratic United Party that only targets proportional representation seats would win 168 to197 seats, while the PPP and its sister People Future Party were expected to win 85 to111 seats. If confirmed, the predictions would deal a severe blow to Yoon, whose administration has struggled with challenges due to low approval ratings and the opposition-controlled National Assembly over the past two years.
