South Korea's Han Dong-hoon Resigns After Yoon's 204-85 Impeachment Vote Over Martial Law Declaration
Dec 16, 2024, 02:15 AM
Han Dong-hoon, the leader of South Korea's ruling People Power Party, announced his resignation on December 16, 2024, following the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol. The impeachment was a result of a parliamentary vote that took place over the weekend, where 204 members voted in favor and 85 against. Han stated during a press conference that he could no longer fulfill his duties as party leader due to the collapse of the party's Supreme Council and the intense criticism he faced from within the party for supporting the impeachment. He expressed no regret for his decision to support the motion, which was prompted by Yoon's controversial declaration of martial law. Han emphasized that the impeachment was necessary despite the pain it caused to the public. His resignation reflects the ongoing political turmoil in South Korea, exacerbated by the recent events surrounding Yoon's presidency.
