SEOUL, March 24 (Bernama-Yonhap) -- South Korean Constitutional Court dismissed the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo on Monday, reinstating him as acting president in the ongoing turmoil over suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief imposition of martial law.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Han's impeachment was dismissed in a 5-1 vote by the court's eight justices. Two justices voted to reject the impeachment motion entirely.
The ruling came three months after the National Assembly impeached the prime minister and then acting president over his alleged role in Yoon's Dec 3 declaration of martial law, among other reasons.
