South Korea’s President Park faces impeachment charge
Parliament brings in motion to oust her

SOUTH KOREAN President Park Geun Hye could be on the skids as early as today after the opposition-controlled parliament introduced an impeachment motion against her yesterday.

An impeachment vote must, constitutionally speaking, take place within 24 to 72 hours and today is the final day of the current parliamentary regular session.

The motion needs two-thirds approval in the 300-seat single-chamber parliament to be carried.
