| 2004-03-09 |
| South Korean opposition parties submitted an impeachment motion against embattled President Roh Moo-hyun on Tuesday, National Assembly official Oh Se-il said. Party officials said Monday they would try to impeach Roh after he was found to have violated election laws with comments aimed at influencing parliamentary polls. The proposal was submitted to National Assembly on Tuesday with the support of both the Millennium Democratic Party and the main opposition Grand National Party, MDP official Kim Young-chang said. The motion needs a simple majority of the 273-member assembly to make it to debate. The motion was submitted with the support of 159 members, more than half, Kim said. Who is likely to succeed him? Anybody know?? |
