On April 4, the Constitutional Court of South Korea will issue a ruling on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

(GLO)- The Constitutional Court of South Korea has just announced that it will issue a verdict on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol at 11:00 a.m. on April 4. The trial is expected to be broadcast live.

Previously, Mr. Yoon was suspended from his position from December 14, 2024 after declaring martial law on December 3 without justifiable reason.

South Korea's National Assembly quickly voted to nullify Mr Yoon's order and then passed a resolution to impeach the leader.

The Constitutional Court will decide whether to uphold the impeachment or dismiss it. If the case is dismissed, Mr. Yoon will be reinstated. Otherwise, he will be removed from office and an election will be held within 60 days.

Under the South Korean Constitution, Mr. Yoon will be impeached if at least six judges support the National Assembly's decision.

In addition to the impeachment trial, Mr. Yoon also faces a criminal trial for inciting rebellion through his attempt to impose martial law. President Yoon Suk-yeol was arrested in January and released after 52 days in detention, after prosecutors did not appeal the court's decision to cancel the arrest warrant.
