1st LD: Moon Jae-in says S. Korean presidential election is great victory of great people

Xinhua, May 9, 2017 Adjust font size:

Liberal candidate Moon Jae-in of the Minjoo Party said that South Korea's presidential election is "a great victory of great people" after most of local media outlets viewed his victory as assured.

Moon told his jubilant supporters gathering at the Gwanghwamun square in central Seoul Tuesday night that he will become a president of all the people from Wednesday.

He had promised to appear in the square if all of local media outlets reported his victory was assured.

His main rivals conceded the election to Moon as exit polls and projections by local media organizations claimed his landslide victory. Endit
