Yoon’s Impeachment Motion Faces Defeat as Lawmakers Boycott Vote
South Korea’s parliament is expected to reject the impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk-yeol due to a lack of quorum. This outcome comes as members of the ruling People Power Party have refused to participate in the vote, according to television reports on Saturday.
The motion, which required a minimum number of votes to proceed, faltered when lawmakers from the president’s own party declined to cast their ballots. Their boycott effectively prevents the impeachment from moving forward.
This development highlights the political tensions within the National Assembly and underscores the ruling party’s support for President Yoon amidst opposition efforts.
Many are watching to see how this political standoff will influence South Korea’s future and its impact on the younger generation.
