Holding three-fifths of the 300 seats in the National Assembly will allow the opposition parties to fast-track nearly all bills, with the exception of constitutional amendments and presidential impeachment.
But as the seats secured by the opposition bloc fall short of the 200-seat super majority, President Yoon Suk-yeol will still be able to exercise veto power.
President Yoon’s ruling party, the People Power Party (PPP), and its proportional representation satellite party, the People’s Future, managed to claim 108 seats, just enough to prevent any constitutional amendments.
In the opposition-dominated 21st National Assembly, the DPK demonstrated this legislative power by autonomously passing bills to dismiss Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and impeach Minister of the Interior and Safety Lee Sang-min, despite opposition from the ruling party.
With the DPK and its allies now controlling over 180 seats, similar scenarios will likely be repeated in the 22nd National Assembly.
