Seoul: More than half of South Koreans said the Constitutional Court should uphold the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol to remove him from office for his short-lived martial law declaration, a survey showed Monday.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the survey by Realmeter on 1,006 people aged 18 and older conducted last Thursday and Friday, revealed that 52 percent of the respondents said the court should rule to dismiss Yoon. Meanwhile, 45.1 percent expressed that the court should reinstate him as president following his impeachment by the National Assembly in December.
In the same survey, 50.7 percent of participants viewed the Constitutional Court's impeachment trial process as "fair," while 45 percent considered it "unfair." The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points at a 95 percent confidence level.
The final hearing of Yoon's impeachment trial is scheduled for Tuesday, with a verdict likely to be delivered in mid-March.
