South Korea’s parliament voted to impeach prime minister and acting president Han Duck-soo on Friday, following political turmoil sparked by President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law order. The impeachment motion against Han received 192 votes, surpassing the required majority of 151 in the 300-member legislature.
The chaotic scenes in parliament saw ruling party lawmakers celebrating the decision, accusing Han of abuse of power. Han, who took over as acting president after Yoon's impeachment, accepted the decision and announced his suspension of duties to prevent further confusion.
