The candidate of the Liberal Party of South Korea, Lee Jae-Myung, is expected to win the country’s presidential election of the country, according to projections of the country’s broadcasters on Tuesday.
Reuters did not independently confirm the results of the joint exit survey by the KBS, MBC and SBS broadcasters, who placed Lee of the Democratic Party at 51.7% and its Kim Moon-SOO rival of the Power Party people at 39.3%.
The exit survey was mainly in line with the final results. A survey separated by the JTBC diffuser put Lee at 50.6% and Kim at 39.4%. Channel also predicted a LEE victory by similar margins.
The vote began at 6 a.m., local time at 14,295 polling stations nationwide and closed at 8 p.m.
The winner must take up the challenges, including a company deeply marked by the divisions, made more obvious since the attempted military rule, and a heavy economy for export in shock from unpredictable protectionist movements of the United States, a large trading partner and a security ally.
According to the electoral electoral commission, around 78% of the 44.39 million voters eligible in South Korea, with the National Electoral Commission, with automobile dealers, gymnasiums and fields for traditional Korean struggle (called ssireum) turned into polling stations to choose the head of the fourth economy in Asia.
The Democratic event took place six months after the unrest launched by the martial law of shock briefly imposed by former chef Yoon Suk Yeol.
Voters hope stability
After being dismissed by the Parliament in December, Yoon was removed from his functions by the Constitutional Court on April 4, less than three years after his five -year term, triggering the early elections which now return to redo the political direction of South Korea and foreign policies.
“I hope that the questions surrounding martial law are discussed more clearly and transparently,” said Kim Yong-Hyun, a resident of Seoul, 40. “There are still a lot of things that do not make sense, and I would like to see them properly resolved.”
Lee had called on the “day of judgment” of the elections against the previous administration of Yoon and the power of the power of the conservative people, accusing them of having tolerated the attempt at martial law by not fighting harder to thwart it and even by trying to save the presidency of Yoon.
Kim was Yoon’s Minister of Labor when the former president declared martial law on December 3.
“There are only six hours left to save South Korea, which is in crisis due to the greed of the establishment,” said Lee, exhorting people to vote in an article on Facebook.
Lee and Kim both promised changes to the country, saying that a political system and an economic model set up during its increase as aspiring and industrial power democracy are no longer suitable for use.
Their investment proposals in innovation and technology often overlap, but Lee recommends more equity and aid for low-income low-income families, while Kim campaigned to give more free companies and labor conflicts.
However, the elimination of all social policy initiatives was the brief attempted Yoon to impose martial law, which has benefited from the survey.
Kim marked Lee a “dictator” and his democratic party a “monster”, warning that if the former human rights lawyer becomes president, nothing will prevent them from working together to modify the laws simply because they do not like them.
“Me and the Power Party people will do our best to save people’s livelihoods and the economy,” Kim said in an article on Facebook.
Lee and Kim both voted during the early vote last week.
The regular voters of Seoul have urged the next leader to alleviate discord, restore stability and take up urgent challenges of the spin -offs of the crisis that affected their families.
“The economy has grown well since December 3, not only for me, but I hear that of everyone,” said Kim Kwang-Ma, 81. “And we, as a people, have become so polarized … I hope that we can come together so that Korea can develop again.”
The national electoral commission should certify the result on Wednesday and the inauguration of the winner is expected in a few hours.
