SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s main liberal opposition party said Tuesday it will seek to impeach acting leader Han Duck-soo, as Seoul grapples with the turmoil set off when impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol made a short-lived declaration of martial law.

South Korea's main opposition party vowed on Tuesday to impeach acting president Han Duck-soo but reversed an earlier plan and decided to wait until later in the week, party officials said, as the risk of further political uncertainty heightened.

Lawmakers from the liberal Democratic Party agreed unanimously on Tuesday to pursue an impeachment motion against acting President Han Duck-soo over his refusal to consider two bills to establish special counsel probes into Yoon and his wife.
