South Korea’s Constitutional Court overturned parliament’s impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, reinstating him as acting president.
Han, South Korea’s No. 2 official, had become acting leader after President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached by the opposition-controlled National Assembly over his Dec. 3 imposition of martial law that triggered a massive political crisis.
But Han was impeached by the assembly as well in late December following political strife with opposition lawmakers.
