South Korea’s opposition parties have announced they will vote on a motion to impeach President Park Geun-hye on December 9, with a spokesman for the main opposition Democratic Party saying impeachment will be pursued through “close cooperation and without wavering,” Reuters reported. Two-hundred “yes” votes in the 300-seat parliament are needed to move ahead with impeachment. The three opposition parties and anti-Park independent lawmakers have a total of 172 seats, meaning they will rely on dissenters from Park’s Saenuri party in order for impeachment to take place. If the motion passes, the Constitution Court has 180 days to approve or reject it. If approved, a new election must be called within 60 days. Park, whose approval rating is hovering at a record low of four percent, is embroiled in a corruption scandal involving a personal friend who has been indicted for abuse of power.
