The constitutional court unanimously voted to uphold Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment, paving the way for a snap election within 60 days.

The country’s Constitutional Court on Friday upheld the impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol, dismissing him from office four months after his short-lived imposition of martial law.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s political gamble to declare martial law in December, which resulted in his impeachment by the National Assembly, has ended with his dramatic ouster from power less than three years after he took office.
