South Korean court reinstates impeached PM Han Duck-soo as acting president

Han took over as acting leader from President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was himself impeached over his short-lived declaration of martial law last year. Following the ruling, Han returns to his acting president position immediately.

South Korea’s Constitutional Court ruled on Monday to reinstate Prime Minister Han Duck-soo’s powers, marking the latest twist in the country’s turbulent politics after his impeachment as acting president more than two months ago.
