STORYLINE:
Democratic Party lawmakers cheered on Tuesday after a joint exit poll showed its liberal candidate Lee Jae-myung was forecast to win the South Korean presidential election.
Meanwhile, there were less jubilant scenes at a gathering of conservative People Power Party members.
The exit poll by South Korea’s three major TV stations – KBS, MBC and SBS – showed Lee was projected to obtain 51.7% of the total votes cast during Tuesday’s election, beating conservative candidate Kim Moon Soo with 39.3%.
The election is meant to find a successor of Yoon Suk Yeol, a conservative who was removed from office in April over his ill-fated imposition of martial law.
The wining candidate is to take office as president on Wednesday without the usual two-month transition period.
