All but three MPs of South Korea’s ruling party left parliament ahead of a vote on whether to impeach embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol.
That meant the bill fell short of the 200 members required to pass it, with the opposition needing eight MPs from the ruling People Power Party (PPP) to back it.
Tens of thousands of people have gathered outside South Korea’s National Assembly in Seoul calling for Yoon’s removal.
Earlier on Saturday, Yoon apologised for declaring martial law on Tuesday – a move that was quickly overturned by lawmakers – and said he would not impose it again.
