South Korea’s Constitutional Court has reinstated impeached Prime Minister Han Duck-soo as acting president, the latest twist in the meandering political saga set off by the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol.
The court’s eight justices voted 7-1 to dismiss Han’s impeachment on Monday, restoring him to the country’s highest office while they separately consider the fate of Yoon, who was suspended from his duties after briefly imposing martial law on December 3.
