SEOUL, November 27 (AJP) - The National Assembly is set to decide on whether to pass the arrest motion for Choo Kyung-ho, a former floor leader of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) over his alleged involvement in former President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law debacle in December last year.
Choo has been accused of interfering with parliamentary efforts to lift the martial law declared by Yoon on Dec. 3.
The motion, initiated by independent prosecutors investigating the debacle, requires a majority of lawmakers present to pass. With the Democratic Party holding a majority, it is likely to be passed.
If passed, a court will proceed with a hearing to determine whether to issue an arrest warrant for him.
