South Korea presidency 'won by liberal Moon Jae-in'

South Korean voters have overwhelmingly chosen the Liberal candidate Moon Jae-In as their next President.

An exit poll suggestion puts Mr Moon at forty-one-point- four percent with his nearest challenger, the Conservative Hong Joon-Pyo, at twenty-three-point-three percent.
 
Mr Moon favours greater dialogue with North Korea, which is a change in the current South Korean policy. 

The early election was called after a corruption scandal led to the impeachment of the former President. 

Park Geun-hye is accused of allowing a close friend to extort money from companies. 

She denies any wrongdoing.
