South Korea elections: Opposition set to achieve sweeping win dealing blow to President Yoon Suk Yeol
==========

The liberal opposition parties in South Korea achieved a sweeping win in the parliamentary election, dealing a significant blow to President Yoon Suk Yeol and his conservative party. The election is seen as a referendum on Yoon's leadership, with his popularity suffering due to his administration's handling of the economy and political scandals. The Democratic Party is projected to secure over 170 of the 300 seats in the new legislature, while Yoon's People Power Party is projected to win just over 100 seats. The election saw a record-high turnout of nearly 29.7 million people, or about 67% of eligible voters. Yoon's ability to push his legislative agenda may be significantly affected by the election results, potentially relegating him to a "lame duck" status near the end of his term.
