Lawmaker Choo Kyung-ho of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) speaks ahead of a parliamentary vote at the National Assembly in Seoul on Nov. 27, 2025. YonhapSEOUL, November 27 (AJP) - The National Assembly on Thursday passed a motion to arrest Choo Kyung-ho, the main opposition People Power Party (PPP)'s former floor leader over his alleged involvement in disgraced former President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law debacle in December last year. The motion, proposed by independent prosecutors investigating the debacle, comfortably passed with 172 votes in favor, four against, two abstentions, and two invalid votes at the parliamentary session, with the ruling Democratic Party (DP) holding the majority of seats. All PPP lawmakers including Choo boycotted the vote.
Choo has been accused of interfering with parliamentary efforts to lift the martial law declared by Yoon on Dec. 3.
By law, sitting lawmakers are immune from arrest while parliament is in session and can only be arrested with a majority vote from the National Assembly.
A court is now set to hold a hearing to decide whether to issue an arrest warrant for Choo.
