This year's presidential election was by far the most unpredictable race in Korean election history, with People Power Party candidate Yoon Suk-yeol defeating his main opponent Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party by a razor-thin 0.73%. Following his victory, Yoon will now organize a presidential transition committee to map out the key policies of the new administration with reference to his manifesto. He will be inaugurated on 10 May.
