South Korean President Yoon Survives Impeachment Over Martial Law After Ruling Party Boycotts Vote
Dec 7, 2024, 12:51 PM
On Saturday, South Korea's parliament failed to impeach President Yoon Suk-yeol after lawmakers from the ruling People Power Party boycotted the vote, resulting in insufficient quorum. The opposition-led impeachment motion was prompted by President Yoon's brief imposition of martial law earlier this week, which has sparked widespread protests outside parliament with thousands calling for his resignation. Prior to the impeachment vote, the parliament also failed to pass a bill to investigate scandals involving the first lady. As a result, President Yoon will remain in office for now.
