SEOUL, Dec 4 (Bernama-dpa) -- Pressure on South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to resign following his flubbed martial law declaration mounted on Wednesday as opposition parties submitted a motion to impeach him, reported German news agency (dpa).
The main opposition Democratic Party and five more minor opposition parties submitted the motion at 2.43 pm (0543 GMT), the Yonhap news agency reported. It was signed by 191 lawmakers with no support from ruling party MPs.
The plan is to report the motion to a parliamentary plenary session on Thursday, with a vote either on Friday or Saturday, Yonhap reported.
