South Korea's Constitutional Court rejects prime minister's impeachment

South Korea's Constitutional Court has ruled to reject the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and reinstated him in his role as acting president. This decision was the outcome of a court hearing that lasted three months.

Impeachment and reinstatement

The question of stripping Han Duck-soo of his powers was raised after South Korea's National Assembly initiated the impeachment process. The Prime Minister had served as the country's acting president for less than two weeks, which sparked public and political discontent. Nevertheless, the Constitutional Court decided to reinstate him in office, rejecting the charges.

Political situation in the country

The court's decision marked a significant turning point in South Korea's political life. Han Duck-soo can now continue his duties, despite the initial accusations and disagreements within the National Assembly.
