Will south koreas impeached president be removed from office court to announce verdict friday

You're referring to the ongoing impeachment proceedings against South Korea's President Park Geun-hye!

Yes, the Constitutional Court of South Korea is scheduled to announce its verdict on Friday, March 13, 2017, on whether to uphold or reject the National Assembly's impeachment of President Park Geun-hye.

On December 9, 2016, the National Assembly voted to impeach President Park Geun-hye on charges of corruption, abuse of power, and neglect of duty. The impeachment was sparked by a massive corruption scandal involving President Park and her longtime friend, Choi Soon-sil, who is accused of using her influence to pressure large companies to donate millions of dollars to two non-profit foundations controlled by Choi.

If the Constitutional Court upholds the impeachment, President Park will be removed from office and the Prime Minister, Hwang Kyo-ahn, will take over as acting president until a new election is held. If the court rejects the impeachment, President Park will be reinstated, but the scandal is likely to continue to plague her administration.

The verdict is expected to be announced at 11:00 AM KST (Korean Standard Time) on Friday, March 13, 2017.
