History[edit]

The constituency was first contested in the 2004 South Korean legislative election. Lee In-je of the centrist-liberal United Liberal Democrats won election, securing 44.85% of the vote.[1] Lee ran as an independent candidate in 2008 and won re-election with only 27.67% of the vote which was the lowest percentage for a winning candidate in the entire election.[2] He was re-elected in 2012 as a member of the right-wing Liberty Forward Party, narrowly beating out Kim Jong-min of the liberal Democratic United Party by less than three points.[3] However, in the subsequent election held in 2016, Kim Jong-min of the liberal Democratic Party narrowly beat Lee In-je by 1,308 votes.[4] Kim won re-election in 2020.

On March 8, 2024, incumbent Kim Jong-min announced his intention to run for the Sejong A constituency.[5] Kim had previously left the Democratic Party on January 10, 2024, citing ideological differences with leader Lee Jae-myung.[6][7]

Boundaries[edit]

The constituency encompasses the entirety of Nonsan, Gyeryong and Geumsan County located in South Chungcheong Province.
