Connect with on-site reporters.



Reporter Kang Cheong-wan, let's start with today's (12th) voting results.



<Reporter>



Yes, the watershed in the Democratic Party's presidential primary, the winner of the 1st Super Week was Candidate Jae-myung Lee.



Candidate Lee took the first place with 253,762 votes and 51.1% of the vote in the first round of voting for about 640,000 members of the primary electoral college made up of ordinary party members and citizens.



Candidate Nak-Yeon Lee took 2nd place with 156,000 votes and 31.5%, Mi-ae Chu, who received 11.7% of votes, Candidate Se-kyun Chung with 4%, Yong-Jin Park, and Du-Kwan Kim in 6th.



The cumulative vote rate, including the 1st Super Week and 4 rounds of rounds, is 51.4% Lee Jae-myung and 31.1% Lee Nak-yeon.




<Anchor> If



this happens, the possibility of Lee Jae-myung becoming a finalist has increased. Should we look at it this way?



<Reporter>



Yes, yes.



In the Democratic presidential primary, if there is no majority, a run-off ballot is held.



However, since candidate Jae-myung Lee has won a majority of his 5 matches so far, if this trend continues, a win-win is expected.



Listen to the candidate's feelings today.



[Lee Jae-myung/Democratic Presidential Primary Candidate: I am grateful for the fact that you received more than expected and a majority support.]



On the other hand, Candidate Lee Nak-yeon, who even announced his resignation as a member of the National Assembly, is not giving up hope for a comeback.



This is because the gap has narrowed somewhat and Lee Jae-myung's cumulative vote rate is around 51%, leaving room for a runoff.



Candidate Nak-yeon Lee is now looking forward to next week's election in his political hometown, Honam.



[Lee Nak-yeon / Democratic Party Presidential Primary Candidate: I will work more carefully with hope. I think the public opinion is starting to change. I will try harder.]



Candidate Jae-myung Lee is expected to emphasize the one-team spirit with the presidential election in mind.
