South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was still clinging to power yesterday, with his party announcing they will oppose an impeachment motion after his short-lived imposition of martial law stunned the world.
Yoon suspended civilian rule late on Tuesday and deployed troops and helicopters to parliament only for lawmakers to vote down the measure and force him into a U-turn in a night of protests and drama.
Seoul's allies were alarmed and the opposition quickly filed an impeachment motion saying Yoon "gravely violated the constitution and the law". A vote is set for tomorrow at around 7pm.
South Korean police also announced yesterday they were investigating Yoon for "insurrection", a crime that transcends presidential immunity and can carry the death penalty, after the opposition filed a complaint against him and other key figures involved.
