The Democratic Party , the largest opposition in the National Assembly with 123 votes, boycotted the plenary session as it prepared a resignation request against parliamentary speaker Kang Chang-hee . The 300-member National Assembly therefore largely consisted of 155 members of the ruling Saenuri party .
