The President of South Korea Impeached
Telegraf
Park Geun-hye has become the first democratically elected South Korean president to be forced from office, after the country’s constitutional court upheld a parliamentary vote to impeach her over a corruption and cronyism scandal that could see her face criminal charges, The Guardian reports.
South Korea now has 60 days to elect a new leader after the court’s eight justices unanimously supported the impeachment motion.
In a swift response from hostile North Korea, state news agency KCNA said: "She had one more year left as ‘president’ but, now she’s been ousted, she will be investigated as a common criminal."
