Han Dong-hoon resigns as leader of South Korea’s ruling People’s Power Party (PPP).
He has supported the impeachment of President and party colleague Yoon Suk-yeol and called for his resignation. Yoon is facing impeachment after declaring martial law and introducing a series of very strict measures, including censorship of the press and a ban on political activity.
The state of emergency only lasted a few hours before it was lifted. In the aftermath, many have called for Yoon to resign, and in addition to the impeachment trial, Yoon is also being investigated.
