5:49Now PlayingSouth Korea's ruling party leader called on President Yoon Suk Yeol to resign Friday over his attempt to impose martial law, warning that he poses a grave danger to the country.
Han Dong-hun, leader of the People's Power Party (PPP), said he had received information that Yoon had ordered the country's defense counterintelligence commander to arrest and detain unspecified key politicians on charges of "anti-state activities" under martial law.
Han's comments almost guarantee that enough lawmakers will vote to impeach the president on Saturday. Yoon's impeachment would require the support of at least two-thirds of the National Assembly, or 200 of its 300 members.
The opposition parties that jointly submitted the impeachment motion have a combined total of 192 seats. Meanwhile, Han leads an anti-Yoon faction within the ruling party, and 18 lawmakers in his faction voted with opposition lawmakers to overturn Yoon's martial law decree.
