North Korean state media report on South Korea's presidential election
North Korean state media on Thursday reported for the first time on the outcome of South Korea's presidential election held earlier this week.
Lee Jae-myung, the candidate of the Democratic Party, was elected as South Korea's 21st president in the election held on June 3, two months after a president was impeached over the December 3 emergency martial law, the short KCNA report said.
The report did not comment any further.
North Korean media have remained quiet on South Korean politics during this election cycle.
