South Korea sets June 3 as the Election date to replace Yun Election news

Prime Minister Han Duck Soo announces the date of voting to choose a successor to establish former leader Yoon Suk.

The Acting President said in the country that South Korea will hold early elections on June 3 to replace Yun Suk Yol, after removing the former president from his post because of his short -term announcement of martial law.

Prime Minister Han Daco, the Acting President, said on Tuesday that the government decided to history, given “the need to guarantee smooth elections and allow enough time for political parties to prepare.”

Han said that the government discussed the issue with the National Elections Committee and “other relevant agencies.”

On Friday, the Constitutional Court in South Korea supported a unanimous decision by the Legislative Council to isolate Yoon, which was elected for five years in 2022, and found that the conservative leader had exceeded his presidential authority when he declared the law based on finely last year.

Under the South Korean law, presidential elections must be held within 60 days of removing the leader from his position.

Yun drowned the young democracy in South Korea in the turmoil when martial laws announced on December 3, claiming that this step was necessary to overcome the obstruction of the political opposition and “counter” forces.

The scenes of soldiers who face legislators and assistants at the National Assembly raised painful memories of the former military dictatorships that laughed before the country moved to democracy in 1987.

Yun raised martial law within hours of his announcement after the National Assembly voted unanimously to cancel the decree.

Lee Jae-Myung from the Democratic Party is the preferred overwhelming in the upcoming elections, although it faces several trials on corruption and other charges.

Han will continue to lead South Korea until the elections, which will divide months of political turmoil in an accurate time of the economy that depends on export in the country.

Last week, US President Donald Trump announced a 25 percent tariff for South Korea’s imports as part of the commercial “liberation day” measures targeting almost all American trade partners.

While Trump gave a handful of sectors of definitions, including semiconductors – a great export of South Korean technology giants Samsung and SK Hynix, the country’s auto industry is wrestling with a separate tariff of 25 percent that came into effect last week.

Cars and other vehicles are the best -selling South Korea products in the United States, with 27 percent of 127.8 billion dollars in exports related to the United States in 2024.

South Korea Trade Minister Cheung left on Tuesday to Washington, where he would try to negotiate relief from Trump’s tariff.
