Opposition set to table same bill in upcoming 22nd Assembly
By Nam Hyun-woo
The National Assembly rejected and scrapped a bill to launch a special counsel probe into allegations that the Yoon Suk Yeol administration influenced the military’s investigation into the death of a Marine, during a parliamentary re-vote, Tuesday.
The main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), which tabled the bill, pledged to reintroduce the same bill in the upcoming 22nd Assembly that will start on Thursday.
During the final plenary session of the current 21st Assembly, 179 out of 294 attending lawmakers approved the bill, failing to meet the two-thirds, or 196 votes, required for passage. A total of 111 lawmakers opposed the bill, with four casting invalid ballots.
To pass a bill once vetoed by the president, a majority of Assembly members must be present and at least two-thirds of those present need to vote in favor.
