  • South Korea's opposition lawmakers have filed a motion to impeach the country's prime minister and acting leader Han Duck-soo, less than two weeks after parliament voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol.

South Korean opposition lawmakers have initiated a motion to impeach Acting President Han Duck-soo, accusing him of incompetence and constitutional violations. This move comes amidst ongoing political turmoil following the resignation of President Yoon Suk Yeol, who stepped down amid allegations of corruption and abuse of power. The impeachment motion, filed by members of the Democratic Party, claims that Han has failed to address critical national issues, including economic downturns and public health crises, and has not adequately responded to the demands for accountability from the previous administration. The motion requires a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly to pass, which would lead to Han's suspension and a subsequent trial by the Constitutional Court. This political maneuver reflects the deep divisions and ongoing power struggles within South Korean politics.
