All but three lawmakers of the ruling People’s Power Party (PPP) on Saturday boycotted the vote on the impeachment motion against President Yun Suk-yeol. This has strengthened Yoon’s chances of escaping impeachment.

• Most of the 108 lawmakers from the ruling People’s Power Party, except three, left the parliamentary hall after voting against a bill to investigate scandals involving Yun’s wife. Xinhua news agency reported that one MP from the ruling party remained in the hall and two returned after leaving.
• Of the 300 MPs in the National Assembly, 198 voted in favor of the bill for a special prosecutor investigation into the First Lady, while 102 voted against it. To pass the bill, at least two-thirds of the MPs are required to vote in its support. To pass the impeachment motion, more than 200 MPs will have to support it.
• The motion will be rejected at 00:48 am local time on Sunday as it must be voted on between 24 hours and 72 hours after it is reported to the National Assembly.
• The Democratic Party and five other small parties had on Wednesday presented an impeachment motion on the declaration of martial law by the President.
• Yun declared emergency martial law on Tuesday night, but revoked it on Wednesday after parliament voted against it. Martial law remained in force only for a few hours.
• Earlier, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said on Saturday that he will let the ruling People’s Power Party decide about his tenure.
• Yun said in a televised address that he would let the ruling party take decisions on stabilizing the political situation, including the remainder of his presidential term, Xinhua news agency reported. He said that the party and the government will together take responsibility for the affairs of the state.
