South Korea's major opposition party to seek PM's impeachment: Yonhap

South Korea`s main opposition Democratic Party said on Monday it and other parties would seek the impeachment of the prime minister.

Seoul: South Korea`s main opposition Democratic Party said on Monday it and other parties would seek the impeachment of the prime minister, Yonhap News Agency reported after the premier said an investigation into a corruption scandal would not be extended.

The move to seek the impeachment of Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn was an apparent protest against his decision not to extend a special investigator`s investigation into an influence- peddling scandal that has engulfed President Park Gyuen-hye.

The floor leaders of opposition parties are meeting to discuss their plans, with the minor People`s Party also seeking cooperation from other parties to impeach Hwang, who has been acting president since Park was impeached by parliament in December.
