The vote took place as hundreds of thousands took to the streets of Seoul in rival rallies for and against Yoon, who launched a failed attempt to impose martial law on December 3.

With the impeachment, Yoon has been suspended from office while South Korea's Constitutional Court deliberates on the vote.

Prime Minister Han Duck-soo is now the nation's interim leader.

The court now has 180 days to rule on Yoon's future.

The South Korean president has vowed to fight on and doubled down on unsubstantiated claims the opposition is in league with the country's communist foes.
