South Korea: Exit polls show sweeping local election win for Lee’s party

Source: Yahoo! News

“South Korean voters overwhelmingly cast their ballots for the ruling Democratic Party in nationwide local elections Wednesday, exit polls said, in a show of support for President Lee Jae Myung one year into his term. Lee’s Democratic Party was projected to win 11 of the 16 key races in Wednesday’s elections, according to a joint poll conducted by broadcasters KBS, MBC and SBS. The opposition People Power Party was projected to take only one seat, while four races were too close to call. A separate poll by broadcaster JTBC found the Democratic Party projected to win 10 of the key races. The vote was the first nationwide test since Lee took office last June, when he won the presidency in a snap election after former President Yoon Suk Yeol was removed from office over his botched martial law attempt.” (06/03/26)
