South Korea Opposition Moves to Impeach Acting President Amid Political Turmoil

Reported 1 day ago

South Korea's main opposition party, the Democratic Party (DP), plans to impeach Acting President Han Duck-soo due to his refusal to approve special counsel bills investigating insurrection charges against former President Yoon Suk Yeol and allegations against First Lady Kim Keon Hee. The move, which comes as the ruling party and opposition battle for political momentum, may face challenges in garnering support compared to previous impeachments. Han, who assumed office on December 14 after Yoon's impeachment, could be targeted for aiding Yoon's martial law attempt, and the DP hopes to enforce an early presidential election. However, uncertainties remain about the timing and potential backlash of this political strategy.
