With the vote counting rate of the 20th presidential election held yesterday (9th) exceeding 40%, presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea continues to have a slight edge.
However, as the number of votes increases, the gap with Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, the People's Power, tends to narrow, so the outline of the final result is expected to be confirmed only at dawn today (10th).
According to the election statistics system of the National Election Commission, the counting of votes, which started at 8:10 pm that night, progressed to 40% past 12 pm.
Candidate Lee, with 48.7% of the vote, leads the People's Strength candidate Yoon Seok-yeol (48.0%) by 0.7 percentage points.
Earlier, at around 10:20 pm, at the time of the counting rate of 5.02%, Candidate Lee was 51.21%, with a difference of 5.55% points to Candidate Yoon (45.66%). 46.76%.
At 11:21, the vote counting rate of 21.67% was 49.81% for Lee and 46.96% for Yoon, with a gap of 2.85 percentage points.
In some regions, after the early ballot counting has ended and the main ballot counting is in progress, there is a fierce competition going on.
