With the vote counting rate exceeding 30% in the 20th presidential election held on the 9th, 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 Yun Seok-yeol, the People's Power, tends to narrow.
According to the election statistics system of the National Election Commission, the counting of votes, which started at 8:10 pm that night, has progressed 30.01% as of 11:41 pm.
Candidate Lee, with 49.63% of the vote, leads the People's Strength candidate Yoon Seok-yeol (47.08%) by 2.55 percentage points.
Justice Party candidate Shim Sang-jung came in at 2.09%, and National Revolutionary Party candidate Huh Kyung-young came in order of 0.75%.
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%.
The gap has been narrowed by 3.28 percentage points.
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 preliminary ballot counting has ended and the main ballot counting is in progress, it is expected that the two candidates will fight fiercely with a narrow gap in the future.
