SEOUL, June 4 (Xinhua) — The Central Election Commission of the Republic of Korea (ROK) confirmed Lee Jae-myung’s victory in the election on Wednesday morning, officially starting his five-year term as president.
Lee Jae-myung took office as president at 06:21 local time with the approval of the supervisory body at a plenary session.
He had no transition period as he was elected in a presidential by-election triggered by his predecessor’s failed attempt to impose martial law last December.
Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Toburo Party won the snap election with 49.42 percent of the vote, beating his main rival Kim Moon-soo of the conservative Civil Power Party with 41.15 percent. –0–
