Part 2/8:
The Democratic Party, despite lacking the two-thirds majority needed in the National Assembly to successfully pass the impeachment motion, is rallying support. Party leaders have expressed their commitment to allow ruling party lawmakers time to reconsider their positions on the matter. While some members of the PPP voiced criticism regarding President Yoon's decision to impose martial law, party leaders have indicated that they will not vote for impeachment to avoid further political chaos. This caution stems from the memory of the recent impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye in 2016, which ultimately led to the PPP's electoral defeat.
