South Korea's Parliament Impeaches President Yoon Suk Yeol Over Martial Law Attempt
Dec 14, 2024, 08:38 AM
South Korea's opposition-led National Assembly voted on Saturday to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived attempt to impose martial law earlier this month. The motion was passed with a vote of 204-85, suspending Yoon from his official duties and transferring power to Prime Minister Han Duck-soo as acting president under the constitution. The impeachment comes less than two weeks after Yoon shocked the nation by briefly declaring martial law, a move that split his party and plunged the country into political turmoil. This marks the second impeachment vote against Yoon, leaving South Korea facing the prospect of months of caretaker rule.
