Former South Korean President Park Geun-hye has called for the ruling People Power Party (PPP) to stay united and fulfil its responsibilities despite challenges from the Opposition-controlled political landscape.

Ms. Park made the remarks during a meeting with the PPP leadership at her home in the southeastern city of Daegu. According to party officials, she expressed deep concern over the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The visit by the top PPP members, including Kwon Young-se, chief of the party’s emergency steering committee, and its floor leader Kweon Seong-dong, came as the Constitutional Court is expected to deliver its final ruling on Yoon’s impeachment over his December 3 martial law attempt later this month.
