South Korea’s Court Reinstates Impeached PM Duck-Soo As Acting President

South Korea’s Constitutional Court has reinstated impeached Prime Minister Han Duck-soo as acting president.

The court’s eight justices voted 7-1 to dismiss Han’s impeachment on Monday, restoring him to the country’s highest office while they separately considered the fate of impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol, who was suspended from his duties after briefly imposing martial law on December 3.

Five of the court’s judges held that there were not sufficient grounds to impeach Han, 75, though the impeachment motion against him was valid.

Two justices ruled that the legislature’s impeachment motion lacked legitimacy from the start, as it had been backed by only 192 of 300 lawmakers instead of a two-thirds majority.

After being appointed acting president following Yoon’s impeachment on December 14, Han was suspended from his duties less than two weeks later over his refusal to appoint three more justices to the Constitutional Court.

In a televised address after the ruling, Han thanked the court for its “wise decision” and pledged to focus on navigating his country’s geopolitical challenges.

“I believe that all citizens are clearly speaking out against the highly polarised political sphere. I think there is no place for division now. Our country’s priority is to move forward,” Han said.

The decision came as the Constitutional Court was yet to rule on whether to confirm Yoon’s impeachment or restore his presidential powers.

The court has deliberated Yoon’s fate since mid-December, and a decision is widely anticipated to arrive within days.

At least six of eight justices must uphold Yoon’s impeachment to permanently remove him from office.

If Yoon is stripped of the presidency, an election to choose his successor must be held within 60 days.

Yoon is facing criminal charges, including insurrection, in connection with his short-lived martial law decree.

He faces a maximum penalty of life imprisonment or the death penalty if convicted.
