The motion only boomeranged to Rep. Hong Sa-duk, a fifth-term legislator in the Grand National Party, the outgoing parliament's main opposition.
Hong lost out to former Environment Minister Han Myung-sook in Ilsan, a satellite town in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province. The majority floor leader was as a key player in stripping Roh's presidential duties.
His political future is in the media's spotlight, as he earlier proposed he would retire from politics if he lost the bid.
