South Korea’s President Faces Impeachment Bid After Martial Law Declaration
A bill to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol has been submitted to South Korean Parliament by six opposition parties, with a vote scheduled for November 6-7. The impeachment follows President Yoon’s controversial declaration and subsequent swift revocation of martial law, a decision made amidst intense domestic political turmoil. Should the impeachment bill pass, the Constitutional Court will review the matter. The opposition has also demanded President Yoon’s resignation. This action comes after accusations of harsh leadership from both opposition and members of his own party.
