South Korean parliament votes to impeach acting president Han Duck-soo
South Korea’s parliament voted to impeach prime minister and acting president Han Duck-soo on Friday, less than two weeks after parliament stripped President Yoon Suk Yeol of his powers over his short-lived martial law order that plunged the country into political disarray. A total of 192 lawmakers voted to impeach Han, more than the 151 votes needed in the 300-member legislature.
