Former President Yoon Suk Yul of South Korea has officially been removed from office.
On April 4 at 11 a.m. KST, the Korean Constitutional Court announced its unanimous ruling on the impeachment of the now-former president Yoon Suk Yeol.
The ruling was made 122 days following the martial law announcement made on December 3 by the former president and 111 days following the impeachment motion made on December 14. Yoon Suk Yeol’s declaration of emergency martial law was deemed unconstitutional as he did not follow the formal process and the reasons for declaration were not justified.
An election to appoint a new president will now be held within 60 days.
