Impeachment of former president of South Korea after being convicted of violating constitution

South Korea’s president has been removed from office after the Constitutional Court voted unanimously to uphold his impeachment.

Yoon Suk Yeol was suspended from duty in December after being impeached by parliament, following his failed attempt to impose martial law.

His removal takes effect immediately, meaning he must now leave the presidential residence, and will trigger an election to replace him.
