Left-leaning former human rights lawyer, Moon Jae-In, won South Korea’s presidential election by a landslide, an exit poll predicted when polls closed on Tuesday.
Moon, of the Democratic Party, had 41.4 percent support, according to the joint survey by three television stations.
Conservative Hong Joon-Pyo was far behind on 23.3 percent, with centrist Ahn Cheol-Soo third on 21.8.
