SEOUL: The left-leaning governing party of South Korea won a landslide victory in the general elections on Wednesday amid the coronavirus pandemic.
This gives President Moon Jae-in greater momentum to push for his reform agenda during the remaining two years of tenure.
The ruling Democratic Party and its satellite Citizen Party secured 180 seats in the 300-member National Assembly, marking the biggest win since the country introduced the direct presidential election system in 1987. South Korea’s voting system uses a mix of direct and proportional votes.
