AB - This essay reviews how the two main parties nominated their candidates running for the 2012 National Assembly elections and evaluates the relationship between types of candidate selections and their political outcomes. First, New Frontier Party and Democratic United Party showed mixed picture when it came to candidate selections for the elections with NFP more depending on top-down style candidate selections while DUP on bottom-up style candidate selections. Second, contrary to the conventional wisdom that the bottom-up style of candidate selection system helps candidates earn more votes and their chances of being elected, this essay finds that the impact of bottom-up types of candidate selections is conditioned by the variable of regions. Specifically, DUP used the bottom-up type of candidate selection system for the 2012 elections mainly in Honam region that has been strongholds for the party for the last 30 years. Therefore, understanding of the types of candidate selection and their political outcomes requires us to incorporate all the possible variables influencing their relationships.
