South Korea’s parliament on Thursday formally introduced a motion to impeach Yoon Suk Yeol, setting the stage for a historic vote which could oust the embattled president over a botched attempt to impose
martial law.
The impeachment motion against Yoon was reported to a plenary session that opened shortly after midnight on Thursday.
Following the introduction of the motion, a vote on impeachment must be heldwithin 24 to 72 hours.
