South Korea's opposition lawmakers have filed a motion to impeach the country's prime minister and acting leader Han Duck-soo, less than two weeks after parliament voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol, BBC reported.
The follow up comes after Han refused to appoint constitutional court judges nominated by the main opposition Democratic Party (DP).
"Han has revealed himself to be an acting insurrectionist, not an acting president", DP's floor leader Park Chan-dae said on Thursday.
The opposition has also accused Han of aiding Yoon's martial law attempt on December 3.
Han earlier apologised for failing to block it.
He also vetoed several opposition-led bills, including one that proposed a special investigation into Yoon's short-lived martial law declaration.
The impeachment motion is expected to be put to a vote in the next 24 to 72 hours.
For it to succeed, 151 out of 300 MPs must vote for it.
The DP currently holds 170 of the 300 seats in parliament. The opposition bloc together holds 192 seats.
