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.
The ruling on Friday was met with tears of joy and sadness among Yoon’s critics and supporters, who had gathered in various parts of Seoul to watch the verdict live.
A snap election to vote for Yoon’s replacement must be held by 3 June.
After months of anxiously waiting, South Koreans have some badly needed closure. The country can now start to repair and move forward, the first step being to elect a new leader.
