The National Assembly passed an impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk-yeol, immediately suspending his duties. The motion passed with 204 votes in favor and 85 votes against, with 12 defection votes from within the ruling People Power Party. Following this, the Constitutional Court is scheduled to conduct impeachment proceedings against President Yoon. If the court rules in favor of impeachment, President Yoon would become the second impeached president following former President Park Geun-hye. If President Yoon is removed from office, a presidential election to select his successor will be held within 60 days.
