South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has suffered a setback in local polls held amid tensions over the sinking of a navy ship in March.

With almost all the votes counted, official results show the opposition Democratic Party (DP) won seven mayoral and governor posts.

Mr Lee's Grand National Party (GNP) won only six posts.

The result is seen as a blow for Mr Lee's tough stance on North Korea, accused of sinking the Cheonan.

The South Korean public have spoken! This is likely a protest against their government's hard line approach with NK, im sure the SK people really do not want to be living in terror of total annihilation, because thats exactly what their leader has done for them.

Heres hoping this yields positive results!
