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

South Korea’s opposition-controlled National Assembly has voted to impeach the country’s acting leader, Han Duck-soo.

South Korea's parliament began a session on Friday where a vote to impeach acting President Han Duck-soo over short-lived martial law is scheduled, as the Constitutional Court said it would swiftly decide suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol's fate.
