Subtle swing: The country’s center-left opposition Democratic Party of Korea won in a landslide, expanding its majority from 156 to 175 of the National Assembly’s 300 seats. Analysts viewed it as a referendum on president Yoon Suk Yeol — in the second year of his five-year term — of the conservative People Power Party, which won 108 seats. Rebuilding Korea, a nascent liberal opposition party established by former justice minister Cho Kuk a month before the election to make former top prosecutor Yoon a “lame duck” then “dead duck,” won 12 seats, the only other party that gained seats.
