South Korea election: Moon Jae-in wins presidency

Moon Jae-in has claimed victory in South Korea’s presidential election.

The liberal candidate on Tuesday addressed his supporters in the capital Seoul after his rivals conceded.

He replaces impeached President Park Geun-Hye, who was accused of corruption.

There was a huge turnout for the vote, which has put an end to a decade of conservative rule.

Al Jazeera’s Rob McBride reports from Seoul.
