The left politician Lee is the new President of South Korea

The left -wing politician Lee Jae Myung has started his five -year term as the new President of South Korea. According to the official news agency Yonhap, the election commission confirmed its victory after counting all votes on Wednesday morning. According to this, Lee received 49.4 percent of the vote, while conservative candidate Kim Moon followed second place with 41.2 percent. At 79.4 percent, the turnout was as high as it has not been in almost 30 years.

Lee Jae Myung has far -reaching skills as President. So he is not only head of the government, but also commander -in -chief of the armed forces. According to Yonhap, Lee called the South Korean chief of staff in a first official act and asked the military to observe the developments in North Korea precisely.

Lee Jae Myung follows the conservative ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol, who surprisingly struck war law half a year ago and fell his country into a deep state crisis. Yoon was relieved of the Office in April and must currently be responsible for treason.
