South Korea MPs vote to impeach president

Date:

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has been impeached by the National Assembly over his short-lived attempt to impose martial law, a move that plunged South Korea into political turmoil halfway through his presidency.

The unicameral National Assembly voted 204 to 85 on Saturday to impeach Yoon, the second such vote in eight days. Three members abstained and eight votes were declared invalid.

With his impeachment, Yoon is automatically suspended from office while South Korea’s Constitutional Court deliberates his fate.
