The leader of the ruling People Power Party has asked South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol to leave the party
Earlier on Thursday, Yoon accepted the resignation of his defence minister Kim Yong-hyun
Kim had offered to resign on Wednesday, apologising for his role in Tuesday night’s declaration of martial law that shocked the country
Yoon, who has not publicly spoken since an emergency vote in parliament forced him to reverse his decision, could address the nation today
Opposition parties have tabled a motion to impeach him which is expected to be put to the vote on Saturday
