South Korea’s president is impeached

South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol is impeached after suddenly declaring a short-lived military state of emergency the other week.

A narrow majority of members of the National Assembly in Seoul vote to impeach him, with a motion accusing him of effectively carrying out an attempted coup or rebellion.

Unlike the vote that was supposed to be held a week ago, Yoon’s own party mates were present this time, which meant that a decision could be made.

The Speaker announces that 204 members voted for and 85 against.

In a final step, it is up to South Korea’s Constitutional Court to decide whether to uphold the decision and impeach Yoon, or to annul it.

Alongside the parliamentary impeachment process, the president is still the subject of a prosecutor-led criminal investigation.

The vote has taken place at the same time as more than 200,000 residents demonstrated outside the parliament building for the president to be impeached.
