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, the country’s Yonhap news agency said.
South Korea’s parliament reportedly passed the motion by a vote of 204 to 85, with three lawmakers abstaining and eight votes declared invalid.
Yoon’s decision to impose martial law earlier this month sparked widespread protests in Seoul and calls for his resignation.
He later apologized and survived a first impeachment vote last weekend, which was boycotted by members of his People Power Party.
