The minor liberal Rebuilding Korea Party earned 12 PR seats, while the minor center-left New Future Party and the minor leftist Progressive Party gained one respective seat in electoral districts.
   
The number of parliamentary seats, snatched by the broader liberal bloc, totaled 189.
   
The ruling conservative People Power Party and its sister party obtained 90 constituency seats and 18 PR seats each.
   
The minor center-right New Reform Party garnered one constituency seat and two PR seats.
   
The quadrennial polls for 300 members of the National Assembly were carried out at 14,259 voting stations across the Asian country on Wednesday to let voters cast ballots for 254 constituency seats and 46 PR slots.
