Chungnam Mayor Ahn Hee-jung makes a big jump

So, who is the front runner in the Presidential race this morning?
The latest survey conducted by a leading Korean-language daily, Dong-A Ilbo, published this morning, the front runner, invariably, is Moon Jae-in, former chairman of the main opposition Minjoo Party. Here is the tally:

From left: Moon Jae-in, Governor Ahn Hee-jung of Chungcheongnam-do Province, Acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn
From left: Former Chairman Ahn Cheol-soo of the People’s Party, Mayor Lee Jae-myung of Seongnam City, Chairman Yoo Seung-min of the newly formed conservative Bareun Party

Moon Jae-in: 28.7%
Governor Ahn Hee-jung of Chungcheongnam-do Province: 12.9%
Acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn: 10%
Former Chairman Ahn Cheol-soo of the People’s Party: 7.4%
Mayor Lee Jae-myung of Seongnam City: 7%
Chairman Yoo Seung-min of the newly formed conservative Bareun Party: 3.5%

So who got most of the votes cast before for former UN Chief Ban Ki-moon? It appears that the biggest benefactor seems to be Ahn Hee-jung.
