SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s Constitutional Court unanimously removed Yoon Suk Yeol from office Friday, ending his tumultuous presidency and setting up a new election, four months after he threw the nation into turmoil with an ill-fated declaration of martial law.
The unanimous verdict capped a dramatic fall for Yoon, a former star prosecutor who went from political novice to president in 2022, just a year after he entered politics.
The constitutional court unanimously voted to uphold Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment, paving the way for a snap election within 60 days.

To commemorate the milestone, the South Korean embassy has organised a flurry of activities from arts and culture to food and entertainment across Singapore.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was ousted on Friday by the Constitutional Court, ushering in an election after it upheld parliament's impeachment over his imposition of martial law that sparked the nation's worst political crisis in decades.
