SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's ruling party lawmakers on Saturday decided to oppose an impeachment vote of President Yoon Suk Yeol and a special counsel investigation bill on the first lady, local Yonhap News reported.

Opposition parties will need a handful of votes from Yoon's party to pass the impeachment bill brought on by the opposition after Yoon attempted to impose martial law earlier this week.
