In this presidential election with the smallest margin in history, President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol won a majority of the votes in Seoul and gave the lead over candidate Lee Jae-myung in Chungcheong and Yeongnam.

Although he lost to Lee in Gyeonggi-do, the largest voter field, and Honam, a traditionally inferior region, propaganda in the winning streak was the driving force for dramatic victory.

President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol was 420,000 behind candidate Lee Jae-myung, who served as Gyeonggi governor in Gyeonggi-do, the largest voter field.



The gap widening in Gyeonggi-do was made up for in Seoul, which was the first conservative party candidate to win a majority of the votes since the 17th presidential election in 2007.



The main driving force was that he received nearly twice as many votes as candidate Lee Jae-myung in the so-called Gangnam 3 districts, where there are many voters: Gangnam, Seocho and Songpa.



In Chungcheong Province, where President-elect Yoon worked hard, under the banner of the Chungcheong Daemyeong argument, he received 140,000 more votes than candidate Lee Jae-myung.



Honam, which aimed for 30% of the votes, managed to get double-digit votes, but it fell far short of the target of 30%.



With over 700,000 votes in Gwangju and 840,000 and 950,000 votes in Jeonbuk and Jeonnam, respectively, Lee Jae-myung received 2.49 million fewer votes in Honam alone.



Yeongnam was the backbone of President-elect Yoon.



In Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do, they each got about 850,000 more votes, and in Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam, they were ahead by about 980,000 votes.



It was reversed in Yeongnam, which was behind by 2.49 million votes in Honam.



In this way, President-elect Yoon had the upper hand in 10 out of 17 districts across the country.



Meanwhile, in this presidential election, about 300,000 invalid votes came out, more than twice as many as in previous years.



There were more invalid votes than the gap between the 1st and 2nd places, and it is estimated that the votes cast to Ahn Cheol-soo, the leader of the People's Party, who resigned on the 3rd in the overseas referendum held before the unification of the opposition candidates, were classified as invalid votes.
