South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol faces an uncertain future as the impeachment vote at the National Assembly on Saturday failed to move forward, following his martial law order earlier in the week he said was necessary to root out "anti-state" forces in the country.

Most of 195 lawmakers present likely votes for impeachment, but this is five votes short of the 200 votes necessary to pass the motion. Most ruling People Power Party (PPP) lawmakers refused to participate in the vote, which appears to be the decisive factor in preventing the motion from passing.
