South Korean President Survives Impeachment Vote Amid Political Turmoil

Published

on


South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol narrowly avoided impeachment as the opposition-led National Assembly’s motion fell short of the 200 votes needed. Only 195 votes were cast after members of Yoon’s ruling People Power Party boycotted the session.

The political crisis began earlier this week when Yoon briefly declared martial law, shocking the nation and global markets. The decree, which marked the first such move in nearly four decades, was rescinded within six hours amid widespread backlash.

Saturday’s vote highlighted deep divisions, with opposition lawmakers urging defections from the ruling party. Three People Power Party members voted, but it wasn’t enough to remove Yoon. Protests outside parliament saw over 100,000 demonstrators calling for his ouster, while smaller groups rallied in his support.

In a public address, Yoon apologized for the turmoil but refrained from resigning, leaving his future to his party’s decision. Investigations are underway into allegations of abuse of power and insurrection, with severe penalties, including life imprisonment, on the line.

The opposition has vowed to push for another impeachment attempt, as the political crisis continues to escalate.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law

Published

on


It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.

This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.

“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
