SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea’s main opposition Democratic Party has decided not to seek the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo over last week’s declaration of martial law, party leader Lee Jae-myung said on Sunday.

Han was made acting president on Saturday after President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached for his Dec. 3 decision to impose martial law.
