KBS reported, citing unnamed officials, that South Korea's political parties are seeking to fill three vacancies for judges on the Constitutional Court to restore its full nine-member composition. Currently, the court has six judges as three judges retired earlier this year. Since a motion to impeach South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol requires support from at least six judges to pass, under the current mechanism, if one judge opposes it, the motion will be rejected. All parties are seeking to complete the appointment of the three vacant justices by the end of the year.
