Hey everyone! 🌟 Let’s talk about something super exciting happening in South Korea: the presidential election! 🇰🇷
On Tuesday, people all over South Korea voted to choose their next leader. According to exit polls (that’s when people are asked who they voted for right after they leave the voting place), Lee Jae-myung is in the lead! 🎉
Lee Jae-myung is from the Democratic Party, which is the main liberal party in South Korea. The exit polls show he got around 51.7% of the votes. That’s more than half! 😮
His main opponent, Kim Moon-soo from the People Power Party (a conservative party), got about 39.3% of the votes in the exit polls.
There’s also Lee Jun-seok from the New Reform Party, a smaller conservative party, who received about 7.7% support.
Other local TV stations, like JTBC, Channel A, and MBN, also did their own exit polls. They showed similar results, with Lee Jae-myung leading by around 10 percentage points! 📺
But wait! 🤔 Even though exit polls give us an idea of who’s leading, they aren’t the final results. The official vote count can be different. So, everyone is waiting to see who will be the next president of South Korea! 🏛️
Isn’t it amazing how people in different countries choose their leaders? 🌎 Elections are a big deal because they decide who will make important decisions for the country.
Let’s keep an eye on the news to see what happens next! 👀
