South Korea’s parliament voted to impeach prime minister and acting president Han Duck-soo on Friday, less than two weeks after parliament stripped President Yoon Suk Yeol of his powers over his short-lived martial law order that plunged the country into political chaos.
The main opposition Democratic party filed the impeachment motion on Thursday after Han refused to fill three vacant seats in the Constitutional Court, which is set to adjudicate Yoon’s impeachment trial.
Han’s impeachment comes as the country has been embroiled in weeks of political turmoil and uncertainty following Yoon’s declaration of martial law on December 3, which lasted only six hours and sparked mass protests.
This is a developing story.
South Korean parliament has voted to impeach acting president Han Duck-soo in a historic move that has sent shockwaves throughout the country. The decision comes after weeks of political turmoil and protests over allegations of corruption and abuse of power.
The impeachment vote, which passed with a majority in parliament, means that Han Duck-soo will be removed from office and a new acting president will be appointed. This marks the first time in South Korea’s history that a sitting president has been impeached.
The decision to impeach Han Duck-soo has been met with both praise and criticism from the public. Supporters of the impeachment see it as a necessary step to hold government officials accountable for their actions, while opponents argue that it is a politically motivated move to undermine the current administration.
The future of South Korea now hangs in the balance as the country navigates through this political crisis. It remains to be seen how this impeachment will impact the upcoming presidential elections and the overall stability of the nation.
