Despite the theory of checks, the results of a public opinion poll continued to show that the approval rating of the People's Power Party surpassed the Democratic Party of Korea outside the margin of error.
The relatively quiet People Power Party, former Innovation Committee Chairman In Yo-han, demanded that the pro-Yoon faction drop out, but the pro-Yoon faction members had already confirmed their nominations.
Instead of increasing the number of constituencies, the National Assembly reduced the number of proportional seats by one, and the People Power Party and the Democratic Party of Korea set out to secure the number of seats by creating proportional satellite parties like the 21st.
When the two parties created proportional satellite parties to protect the number of seats, the two major parties took 94% of the seats.
Last year, 500 citizens participated in the deliberation process to seek a reform plan for the electoral system, but the National Assembly decided to maintain the 21st method for the 22nd general election.
