Chungcheongnam-do is where the People Power Party won 51.08% of the votes compared to the Democratic Party’s 44.96% in the last presidential election.
In North Chungcheong Province, the People Power Party (50.67%) surpassed the Democratic Party (45.12%) in the last presidential election, but the Democratic Party (50.23%) surpassed the People Power Party (47.93%) in this general election.
In this way, while the People Power Party’s vote rate in the general election in the metropolitan area and Chungcheong area decreased compared to the last presidential election, the number of seats secured by the People Power Party and the Democratic Party in the general election widened even more than the difference in vote rate.
This is due to the single-member constituency system, which elects only one candidate who ranks first in each constituency.
If we simply calculate the number of seats based on regional vote rates, the People Power Party will win 22 seats and the Democratic Party will win 25 seats in Seoul, where a total of 48 seats are at stake.
The actual results of this general election are that the People Power Party has 11 seats and the Democratic Party has 37 seats.
In Gyeonggi Province, the People Power Party only secured 6 seats in this general election, but when the vote percentage is applied, it is calculated that it won 26 seats.
On the other hand, the Democratic Party secured 53 seats, but based on the vote rate, it would have 33 seats.
