A South Korean court has overturned Prime Minister Han Duck-soo’s impeachment, reinstating him as the acting leader as the country waits for a separate verdict on President Yoon Suk Yeol’s political fate.
The Constitutional Court ruled in Han’s favor on Monday, with only one of the eight judges voting against restoring him to office. An impeachment requires at least six votes to pass. Han takes over the role of acting president from Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok.
