Legislative elections were held in South Korea on 10 April 2024 to elect all 300 members of the National Assembly.[1][2]
Electoral system
The National Assembly's 300 seats are elected by the following methods:[3][4]
- 254 constituency seats are elected via first-past-the-post voting
- 46 seats are elected by proportional representation via the additional member system and largest remainder method.
The minimum voting age is set at 18.
Campaign
The election was held amid several political and socioeconomic issues in South Korea such as corruption, with President Yoon Suk-yeol of the People Power Party facing criticism over the handling of issues involving his wife and a former minister, and party leaders such as the Democratic Party's Lee Jae-myung, and Rebuilding Korea Party's Cho Kuk facing trials for bribery and forgery respectively,[5] as well as rising inflation and the ongoing doctors' strike.[6] One major talking point was an incident on 18 March when President Yoon visited a grocery store in Seoul to check consumer prices and describing the 875-won ($0.65) price of a green onion he found as reasonable, only to emerge that the onions were being sold at a discount and that the true price of onions was three to four times higher. The incident led to opposition candidates bringing out green onions at campaign rallies and the hashtag #greenonions875won becoming a trending topic on social media throughout the election. In response, the National Election Commission banned voters from bringing green onions to polling stations, citing concerns over "election interference". This was in turn, widely ridiculed and led to an increase in demand for green onion-themed merchandise.[7]
On 27 October 2023 the Justice Party and Green Party announced their intention to form an electoral alliance and invited other left-wing parties to participate.[8] This move was heavily criticized by Justice Party deputies Jang Hye-young and Ryu Ho-jeong, as well as former Justice Party Youth Committee Chair Kim Chang-in; all three believe that the Justice Party should form electoral alliances not by ideology, but with any "third zone" party opposed to the Democratic and People Power parties.[9]
On 2 January 2024 Lee Jae-myung was stabbed in an assassination attempt while visiting the construction site of an airport in Gadeokdo, Busan.[citation needed] He was later criticised for using a sexually derogative term to describe People Power Party politician Na Kyung-won during a criticism of her pro-Japanese views.[10]
On 15 January 2024 the Green Party and Justice Party announced a left-wing election coalition called the "Green-Justice Party."[11] On the same day, Basic Income Party leader Yong Hye-in announced a pro-Democrat electoral coalition to counter the People Power Party.[12]
Throughout the campaign the People Power Party argued that President Yoon's government has been unable to push its reform agenda forward since taking office in 2022 due to an uncooperative National Assembly controlled by the opposition, while the Democratic Party described Yoon's administration as "incompetent", accusing it of causing a socioeconomic downturn and mishandling several controversial issues. The Rebuilding Korea Party campaigned for an early end to Yoon's presidency,[13] with Cho Kuk pledging to turn Yoon into "first a lame duck, then a dead duck”.[14]

Reactions
Following the release of exit polls, Han Dong-hoon expressed disappointment over the People Power Party's losses in the election.[45] Cho Kuk called the results of the Rebuilding Korea Party's campaign the "victory of the people" and said it showed the people can "no longer put up with the regression" of the Yoon administration. Cho also called on President Yoon to "apologize for the numerous misdeeds and corruption", and pledged to introduce a special investigation bill against Han Dong-hoon once the new session of the National Assembly is formed.[46] Lee Jae-myung expressed thanks for the Democratic Party's showing and said the party will "humbly watch the people’s choices to the end".[47]
