SeoulcTypeface:> South Korea’s Constitutional Court is set to rule on suspended president Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment case on Friday, it was revealed on Tuesday.
The verdict would be delivered from the court with the public able to attend, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported, citing a note from the court. If Yoon’s impeachment is upheld, new elections would be required within 60 days. If not, Yoon would return to office.
The National Assembly impeached Yoon on December 14 after he made a declaration of martial law earlier that month.
The declaration was seen as an attempt to crack down on his political opponents. (DPA)
