Opposition needs ruling party support to suspend president over ‘insurrectionary’ martial law bid, while removal would need court approval

South Korean lawmakers are due to convene again over whether to impeach the president, Yoon Suk Yeol, for his failed martial law bid.

A week after the first attempt to remove Yoon foundered, the National Assembly is expected to vote at about 4pm local time on Saturday on whether to impeach him for “insurrectionary acts undermining the constitutional order”.
