South Korea's president avoids an impeachment attempt over short-lived martial law

South Korea’s president apologized Saturday for public anxiety caused by his short-lived attempt to impose martial law and said he would leave it to his conservative political party to chart a course through the turmoil, hours ahead of a parliamentary vote on a motion to impeach him.

South Korea’s embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol avoided an opposition-led attempt to impeach him over his short-lived imposition of martial law, as most ruling party lawmakers boycotted a parliamentary vote Saturday to deny a two-thirds majority needed to suspend his presidential powers.

The scrapping of the motion is expected to intensify protests calling for Yoon’s ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea, with a survey suggesting a majority of South Koreans support the president’s impeachment. Yoon’s martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative People Power Party, but the party is also determined to oppose Yoon’s impeachment apparently because it fears losing the presidency to liberals.
