The South Korean government today officially set June 3rd as the date for the next presidential election, following the ouster of President Yoon Suk Yeol. The announcement came at a Cabinet meeting after the Constitutional Court upheld Yoon’s impeachment due to his brief imposition of martial law in December. The new president will assume office immediately after the election, without a transition team. Yoon became South Korea’s second president to be removed from office, following the 2017 impeachment of Park Geun-hye over a corruption scandal.
