President's impeachment goes ahead despite poll triumph
The impeachment of South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun will go ahead, the country’s Constitutional Court said today, insisting that it will not be influenced by a stunning parliamentary election win for the party that supports the embattled head of state.
In yesterday’s nationwide polls, South Koreans gave the pro-Roh Uri Party a majority in the National Assembly, punishing bigger opposition parties that sponsored the impeachment.
