The most dramatic victory in this election was held in Gyeonggi-do, which was considered the biggest battleground before the election.

From the start of the counting to the mid-to-late period, candidate Kim Eun-hye took the lead, but Democratic Party candidate Kim Dong-yeon, who was gradually narrowing the gap, succeeded in turning around at 5:30 a.m. today (2nd) and won by 8,900 votes.

At the moment of the announcement of the results of the joint exit poll of the three terrestrial broadcasters including SBS,



[5, 4, 3, 2, 1] [5, 4, 3, 2, 1] [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]



was predicted to prevail by 0.6 percentage points, cheering from Candidate Eun-hye Kim's side and conversely, from Candidate Dong-yeon Kim's side, sighing.



At the beginning of the counting, the difference widened to 5 percentage points as Candidate Eun-hye Kim struck out.



[Another table has been added.

The gap is getting wider.]



But past midnight, the pursuit of candidate Kim Dong-yeon became fierce, and the gap narrowed to zero after 2 am.



[Ko Jeong-hyeon/SBS reporter: The difference in votes between the two candidates has been reduced to 0.9 percentage points.

It continues to decrease to 50,000 votes, 40,000 votes, and 30,000 votes...

At 4 o'clock, the gap narrowed down to 0.5 percentage points, and the lead changed after 9 hours at 5:32, 96.6% of the time of counting.



[It's a reversal, a reversal!

The number that comes out now is the number that Kim Dong-yeon leads.]



In the Kim Dong-yeon candidate's camp, the joy of a comeback and the uneasiness of fear intersect.



On the other hand, at the Candidate's camp for Kim Eun-hye, there was a sign of nervousness, covering her head with both hands.



Although the margin was narrowed again, Candidate Dong-yeon Kim did not allow her to come back again, and at 6:47 in the morning, Candidate Eun-hye Kim declared her victory over her, ending her period.



The final result was 0.15 percentage points, with a difference of only 8,900 votes, and it was a tighter match than the Seoul mayoral election between Candidates Oh Se-hoon and Han Myeong-sook in 2010, with a difference of 0.6 percentage points.



[Kim Dong-yeon!

Kim Dong-yeon!

Kim Dong- yeon!]



The slow counting of votes in Bucheon, Hwaseong, and Uijeongbu, which have strong progressive tendencies, was analyzed as a factor in the final twist.
