In the election, the Democratic Party (Democratic Party/DP) led by Lee won the majority of the contested seats.
However, the victory was not entirely smooth. DP failed to capture the seat of Seoul Mayor, one of the most important political positions in South Korea.
On the other hand, the ruling party recorded positive results in Busan. DP managed to win the mayor's post in a city that has long been known as one of the conservative base's strong base.
