Thousands of people are celebrating on the streets of Seoul after South Korean lawmakers voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol. The latter will be suspended while the prime minister will serve as acting president.
The Constitutional Court now has six months to decide on the dismissal. A total of 204 lawmakers approved the motion to impeach Yoon, who plunged the country into political turmoil with a short-lived declaration of martial law last week.
Yoon survived an impeachment vote last weekend and has remained in power despite growing calls for him to step down.
He and his allies are currently under investigation on sedition charges and a travel ban has been imposed on some of them. (A2 Televizion)
