South Korea votes in snap presidential election after Yoon's ouster over martial law | All you need to know

South Koreans headed to the polls on Tuesday to elect a new president, following the dramatic impeachment and removal of former leader Yoon Suk Yeol. The snap election, triggered by Yoon’s controversial declaration of martial law in December, is seen as a pivotal moment in the country’s political history. The vote comes after Yoon Suk Yeol, a conservative president, was ousted from office and now faces a high-profile trial on rebellion charges. His brief imposition of martial law late last year led to widespread protests and a constitutional crisis. The fallout left South Korea in political turmoil, with major implications for its economy and foreign relations.
