South Korea’s opposition leader urged the Constitutional Court to rule swiftly on a bid to remove President Yoon Suk Yeol from office, the day after parliament voted to impeach him over a short-lived attempt to impose martial law.
Mr Yoon’s powers will be suspended until the court rules on the case, either removing Mr Yoon from office or restoring his powers.
The court has up to 180 days to decide, and if he is dismissed, a national election to choose his successor must be held within 60 days.
Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the opposition Democratic Party, told reporters on Sunday that a swift ruling is the only way to minimise the national chaos triggered by Mr Yoon’s martial law decree.
