South Korea’s National Assembly has voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his decision to impose a short-lived martial law on December 3, according to the country’s Yonhap news agency.
South Korea’s parliament reportedly passed the motion by 204 votes to 85, with three lawmakers abstaining and eight votes nullified.
Yoon’s decision to implement martial law earlier this month led to widespread protests in Seoul and calls for his resignation.
He later apologized and survived a first impeachment vote last weekend, which members of his People Power Party boycotted.
