Lee Jae-myung is projected to become South Korea's next president after winning a significant portion of the vote in a snap election, leading with over 48 percent compared to conservative opponent Kim Moon-soo's 42.9 percent. The election resulted from controversies surrounding former President Yoon Suk-yeol's short tenure and martial law imposition. With a historic voter turnout of nearly 80%, Lee's victory marks a shift in leadership for the country as he prepares to take office amid expectations of Democratic Party reforms.
Lee told supporters, 'I am highly likely to become the president,' expressing confidence in the provisional election results as he celebrated his anticipated victory.
With nearly 80% voter turnout, the election marks the highest engagement since 1997, showcasing South Korean citizens' active participation in the democratic process.
