SEOUL and LONDON — South Korea’s embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol avoided impeachment on Saturday after members of the ruling party walked out before the vote began.
As lawmakers debated a motion to impeach Yoon over his declaration of martial law on Tuesday, all but two members of his own People Power Party walked out of the National Assembly session even before voting began Saturday evening.
