After months of political turmoil, South Korea will elect a new president Tuesday to succeed conservative Yoon Suk Yeol, who was ousted over his brief but shocking imposition of martial law.

South Koreans go to the polls on June 3 in the country's 21st presidential election, aiming to restore political stability after months of turmoil and fill a power vacuum following former leader Yoon Suk Yeol's botched attempt to impose martial law.

After half a year of political turmoil, uncertainty and division, South Korea is voting for a new president to succeed Yoon Suk Yeol, the disgraced former leader who plunged the democratic nation into chaos by declaring martial law in December.
