Court to rule on South Korea PM's impeachment next week

SEOUL — South Korea's Constitutional Court said on Thursday it will deliver a decision on Prime Minister Han Duck-soo's impeachment on March 24, after he was suspended as acting president last year.

The ruling on whether to oust Han or restore his position will be carefully watched as it comes ahead of a highly anticipated impeachment ruling by the same court on suspended President Yoon Suk-yeol.

The Constitutional Court has yet to announce a date for its ruling on whether to uphold Yoon's impeachment or restore his presidential powers.
