Seoul: South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has apologised for imposing martial law in the country and said he will not impose it again ahead of the upcoming impeachment vote, the Yonhap news agency reported, citing his statement.

“I am sincerely sorry and apologise to the people who must have been very surprised. I will not avoid legal and political responsibility related to this martial law declaration,” Yoon said in a televised public address.

He vowed to leave all decisions, including his term, to his People Power Party to decide in order to stabilise the nation, the report said.

The leader of the ruling People Power Party (PPP), Han Dong-hoon, said Saturday it has become inevitable for President Yoon to step down early.

“An early resignation [of Yoon] is unavoidable,” Han said as quoted by Yonhap.

He said the president is no longer in a position to effectively perform his duties.
