SEOUL, 14th December, 2024 (WAM) -- The South Korea's National Assembly voted Saturday to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his botched imposition of martial law, suspending him from his duties until the Constitutional Court decides whether to reinstate him or remove him from office.
The impeachment motion against Yoon passed 204-85, with three abstentions and eight invalid ballots, after all 300 members of the Assembly cast their ballots.
Yoon will be suspended from his duties as soon as the impeachment resolution is delivered to his office, making Prime Minister Han Duck-soo the acting president until the Constitutional Court delivers its ruling.
