South Korea has voted to impeach its acting president Han Duck-soo, two weeks after parliament voted to impeach its President, Yoon Suk Yeol. A total of 192 lawmakers voted for his impeachment, more than the 151 votes needed for it to succeed.

South Korea’s parliament voted to impeach prime minister and acting president Han Duck-soo on Friday, less than two weeks after parliament stripped President Yoon Suk Yeol of his powers over his short-lived martial law order that plunged the country into political chaos.

The assembly approved the impeachment motion in a 192-0 vote on Friday. Governing party lawmakers boycotted the vote.

The decision to impeach acting president comes after the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol earlier this month.

South Korea's main opposition party said it will introduce a bill to impeach acting President Han Duck-soo on Thursday (December 26) and hold a vote in parliament on Friday (December 27), in a move that could deepen the country's constitutional crisis triggered by suspended president Yoon Suk Yeol’s short-lived martial law.

Lawmakers from South Korea’s opposition party are planning to vote on Friday to impeach Prime Minister and acting President Han Duck-soo. The country’s National Assembly already impeached and suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol earlier this month for imposing an unpopular martial law in the country.
