Seoul, South Korea - The Constitutional Court of South Korea officially upheld the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol on Friday. The decision stems from the president's actions related to the imposition of martial law, which the court deemed mishandled.
The ruling effectively removes Yoon from his position, setting the stage for a snap presidential election in the coming months. The impeachment process began earlier this year following widespread public criticism and a vote in the National Assembly.
President Yoon's supporters have expressed disappointment with the court's decision, while opposition parties have hailed it as a victory for democracy and accountability. The upcoming election is expected to be highly contested, with candidates from across the political spectrum vying for the nation's top office. The political landscape remains uncertain as South Korea prepares for this pivotal moment.
