South Korea's National Assembly Impeaches Acting President Han Duck-soo
The South Korean National Assembly has impeached Acting President Han Duck-soo, marking a historic political upheaval as both the president and prime minister have been suspended within weeks. Han, who took over following the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol, faced accusations of obstructing the impeachment process of his predecessor and participating in undemocratic actions related to a recently declared martial law. In a chaotic vote, 192 lawmakers supported the impeachment, while members of the ruling People's Power Party (PPP) protested the lower vote threshold required for Han compared to Yoon’s impeachment. The PPP's boycott of the vote further intensified the political crisis, with allegations of power abuse and invalid voting procedures. Han has expressed his respect for the Assembly's decision and will await the Constitutional Court's ruling on the matter. The ongoing turmoil has impacted South Korea's economy, with the won hitting a low against the dollar.
