Six South Korean opposition parties have submitted a bill calling for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, Yonhap News Agency reported.

The bill was presented to the National Assembly at 14:40 local time.

The six parties, including the main opposition Democratic Party, decided to jointly propose the impeachment motion against Yoon after a widespread backlash across the political spectrum over his short-lived martial law decree.

The bill is expected to be reported to the plenary session of the National Assembly on Thursday with a vote set for Friday or Saturday, according to Yonhap.

Under South Korea's constitution, impeachment must be proposed by a majority in parliament and approved by two-thirds of all lawmakers.

The proposal would then go to the Constitutional Court, one of South Korea's highest courts, along with the Supreme Court. At least six justices must agree to proceed with impeachment, according to the constitution.

The president will be suspended from exercising his power during the process until the impeachment trial, according to the constitution. /CNA
