SOUTH KOREA NATIONAL ASSEMBLY VOTES TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT YOON SUK-YEOL. (PHOTO).


 South Korea National Assembly votes to impeach President Yoon Suk-yeol


South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has been impeached by the National Assembly over his short-lived attempt to impose martial law, a move that plunged South Korea into political turmoil halfway through his presidency.

The unicameral National Assembly voted 204 to 85 on Saturday to impeach Yoon, the second such vote in eight days. Three members abstained and eight votes were declared invalid.

The vote was done by secret ballot, with two-thirds of the votes required for impeachment. All 300 members of the assembly cast their ballots.


Audible gasps were heard from the chamber as the result of the voting was announced. Outside, thousands of protesters greeted the announcement with applause and loud cheers.

In a statement following the vote, Yoon vowed to do his best for his country “until the end”.

“Although I am pausing for now, my journey for the future with the people over the past two and a half years shouldn’t stop,” Yoon said in a public address recorded at his residence.


“I will carry with me all the criticisms, encouragement and support I have received, and I will do my best for the nation until the end”.


With his impeachment, Yoon is automatically suspended from office while South Korea’s Constitutional Court deliberates his fate.

Prime Minister Han Duck-soo is taking over as the interim president.


Han vowed to that he “will devote all my strength and efforts to ensure stable governance.”

The Constitutional Court would then have 180 days to rule on Yoon’s future. If it backs his removal, Yoon would become the second president in South Korean history to be successfully impeached.

Park Geun-hye, another conservative president, was impeached in December 2016 and was removed from office in March 2017.


People Power Party’s stance shifts

Yoon’s conservative People Power Party (PPP)  boycotted the first impeachment vote a week earlier, preventing a quorum.

Since then, PPP leader Han Dong-hoon has urged the party to participate in the voting process, although the official stance of the party rejects Yoon’s impeachment.

Ahead of the vote, at least seven PPP members said they would vote to impeach Yoon, meaning only one more vote was required to reach the 200 necessary for impeachment.
