SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea's ruling party chief demanded Friday that President Yoon Suk Yeol be removed from office after his abortive attempt to impose martial law, warning there was a 'significant risk' he could try to subvert civilian rule again.Yoon suspended civilian rule late Tuesday before being forced into a U-turn after lawmakers faced down soldiers at parliament and voted to overturn the measure as thousands protested outside.
'While there may still be a few ruling party members supporting Yoon Suk Yeol, it seems that Han's statements today are significantly influenced by the gravity of the situation, particularly the mobilisation of intelligence agencies to arrest politicians,' Shin Yul, professor of political science at Myongji University, told Agence France-Presse.
