Seoul: President Yoon Suk Yeol convened with Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and key figures of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) on Wednesday in light of the opposition's recent impeachment motion. The meeting was aimed at discussing strategic responses following the National Assembly's dismissal of a martial law declaration earlier in the day. According to Yonhap News Agency, Prime Minister Han, PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, and floor leader Choo Kyung-ho gathered at the presidential office shortly after opposition parties submitted the impeachment motion. The senior presidential official indicated that the leaders engaged in serious discussions regarding the current political climate, emphasizing that there was no discord among them. Notably, the possibility of President Yoon's departure from the party was not addressed during the talks. The main opposition Democratic Party, along with five smaller parties, plans to present the motion to a parliamentary plenary session on Thursday. A vote could potentially occ ur as early as Friday. The impeachment motion needs a two-thirds majority in the 300-member National Assembly, requiring at least eight votes from PPP lawmakers to pass. If the motion passes, the Constitutional Court will decide whether President Yoon's removal is justified. During the court's review, President Yoon's constitutional powers would be suspended, and Prime Minister Han, as the second-highest official, would take on presidential duties. Although some PPP lawmakers opposed the martial law declaration, their stance on the impeachment remains uncertain. President Yoon has yet to formally respond to the impeachment efforts. However, a senior presidential official asserted that Yoon's actions were intended to "protect the constitutional order against groups determined to destroy" the government, and that all measures were conducted in line with constitutional provisions, as reported by Yonhap News Agency.
