South Korea Court Ousts Yoon, Triggering Election
Hindustan Times Delhi
|April 05, 2025
South Korean court removed President Yoon Suk Yeol from office over his ill-fated martial law declaration, paving the way for a presidential race to end a leadership vacuum that has gripped the nation for months.
SEOUL:
The Constitutional Court's unanimous ruling on Friday immediately stripped Yoon of his powers and set in motion a presidential election to take place within the next 60 days. Right now, Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the main opposition Democratic Party, is leading in polls as the top candidate to succeed Yoon.
The court's decision marks a potential conclusion to one of the most turbulent political chapters in South Korea's recent history. The next leader will be tasked with handling a slew of challenges, including contending with Donald Trump's escalated global tariff campaign and dealing with a more emboldened North Korea.
