Exit polls suggest a big win by South Korea’s liberal opposition parties in parliamentary election
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Initial exit polls suggested South Korea’s liberal opposition parties are expected to win a landslide victory in Wednesday’s parliamentary election.
The joint exit polls by South Korea’s three major TV stations – KBS, MBC and SBS – show the main opposition Democratic Party and its satellite party were forecast to win combined 183-197 seats in the 300-member National Assembly.
The polls suggested the ruling People Power Party and its satellite party were projected to win 85-100 seats.
The predictions, if confirmed, would deal a massive blow to conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol and make him a lame duck for his remaining three years in office.
