South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was completely removed from office four months after he unsuccessfully attempted to declare a state of emergency in the country, BBC reported. The Constitutional Court upheld the decision regarding his impeachment.
Eight members of the court voted in favor of the impeachment. They emphasized that the president violated the principles of the constitution, the rule of law, and democracy with his decision at the time of the ruling.
Now, a new presidential election must be held in South Korea within 60 days.
In December 2024, Yoon attempted to declare a state of emergency in the country, and the parliament accused him of attempting a coup, leading to his impeachment. Following this decision, he was removed from office, but his official removal from the presidency depended on the Constitutional Court's ruling.
Yoon rejected the coup attempt allegations and stated that this decision was made to "politically scrutinize" and protect the state from the opposition. His lawyers described the trial process as "illegal and unjust."
In March, the Constitutional Court released Yoon Suk Yeol from custody and annulled the arrest warrant issued against him.
