South Korea’s parliament voted to impeach the prime minister and acting president on Friday, following a series of political upheavals in the country. The impeachment of Han Duck-soo came less than two weeks after President Yoon Suk Yeol was stripped of his powers due to a controversial martial law order.
The main opposition Democratic party initiated the impeachment motion after Han Duck-soo refused to appoint three new members to the Constitutional Court, which is crucial for Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment trial.
