From Northern Africa, we are going to head east to South Korea, for a story about that country`s next leader. South Koreans voted in their nation`s presidential election yesterday. The winner won`t officially take office until February. When that happens, it`ll come with a bit of history. This is Park Geun-hye. She is said to be the next South Korean president, she`ll be the first woman ever to hold that title. Officials still have to confirm the election results, but Park was leading with more than 94 percent of the vote counted. The economy was the number one issue in South Korea`s election, just like it was for many American voters, and in other countries that held elections this year. Park described her win as "a victory for people who want to overcome crisis and revive the economy."
