Nam Kyung-pil (Korean: 남경필; born 20 January 1965) is a South Korean politician who served as the 34th governor of Gyeonggi Province from 2014 to 2018. Before his election, he had been a member of the National Assembly since 1998, representing Paldal District. In 2016, he left the Saenuri Party because of President Park Geun-hye's scandal. He helped establish the new Bareun Party with other conservative politicians who left Saenuri.
National Assembly
On 21 July 1998, there was a by-election in Paldal District to replace former member, who was also his father, Nam Pyeong-woo, who died on 13 March 1998.[1] Nam won the by-election with 21,356 votes. He had represented Paldal District until 15 May 2014, weeks before the gubernatorial election.
2017 presidential election
On 25 January 2017, Nam declared that he would run for the president of South Korea in 2017. Nam's major commitment was to change South Korea's military conscription service to volunteer military system.[2] He was defeated in his party's primary by his sole opponent, Yoo Seong-min MP.
