South Korea's main opposition party said it will introduce a bill to impeach acting President Han Duck-soo on Thursday and hold a vote on Friday, a move that could deepen the country's constitutional crisis triggered by a short-lived martial law.

South Korea’s main opposition party has submitted a motion to impeach the country’s acting leader over his reluctance to fill three Constitutional Court vacancies ahead of the court’s review of rebellion charges against impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol stemming from his short-lived martial law decree on Dec.

Opposition lawmakers in South Korea have filed a motion to impeach Prime Minister and Acting Leader Han Duck-soo, just under two weeks after parliament voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who became South Korea's acting president after Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment, is a career technocrat whose wide-ranging experience and reputation for rationality may not be enough to stem the country's deepening political crisis.

South Korea’s main liberal opposition party said Tuesday it will seek to impeach acting leader Han Duck-soo, as Seoul grapples with the turmoil set off when impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol made a short-lived declaration of martial law.
