Nam Kyung-Pil (한국어: 남경필, 한자: 南景弼) has been the 34th governor of Gyeonggi Province since 2014. Before his election, he had been a member of the National Assembly since 1998, representing Paldal-gu. In 2016, he left the Saenuri Party because of President Park Geun-hye's scandal. He helped establish a new political party with other conservative politicians who left Saenuri with the creation of the Bareun Party.
On 21 July 1998, there was a by-election in Paldal-gu to replace former member Kim Yong-Nam who died on 13 March 1998. Nam won the by-election with 21,356 votes. He had represented Paldal-gu until 15 May 2014, weeks before the gubernatorial election.
On 25 January 2017, Nam declared that he will run for the president of South Korea in 2017. Nam's major commitment is that he will change Korea's military conscription service to volunteer military system. His (sole) primary opponent in his party's primary was Assemblyman Yoo Seong-min but later lost.
