South Korea's President Yoon Survives Impeachment Vote Amid Ruling Party Boycott
Dec 7, 2024, 12:40 PM
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has survived an impeachment vote in the National Assembly on Saturday, December 7, after members of his ruling party boycotted the vote. The motion to impeach President Yoon, who had recently imposed and then lifted martial law, failed to reach the required two-thirds majority of 200 votes in the 300-seat chamber, with only 195 votes cast. The boycott by the ruling party lawmakers ensured that the vote did not pass, allowing Yoon to remain in office. This political drama unfolded amidst public protests, with an estimated 150,000 people in Seoul demanding the President's resignation. President Yoon had issued a public apology for his martial law misstep.
