The ruling closes out Yoon’s short-lived political career but is unlikely to spell the end of the political chaos that has roiled South Korea for months, analysts say: His removal is likely to galvanize the conservative party and his supporters, who have been staging enormous protests throughout the country demanding his reinstatement.

South Korea must now hold an election within 60 days to choose a new president. The head of the liberal Democratic Party, Lee Jae-myung, is the front-runner, while Yoon’s People Power Party has no clear candidate to succeed him.
