History edit
Sejong A was created ahead of the 2020 South Korean legislative election from the former Sejong constituency as a result of an increase in the area's voter population. The constituency has been represented by Democratic Party member Hong Seong-guk since its creation.[1][2]
Sejong A is generally viewed as a Democratic Party stronghold as the area consistently voted for the candidates affiliated with the Democratic Party in previous elections.[3]
