S Korea scam: Park to accept impeachment

Afp, Seoul

South Korea's scandal-hit President Park Geun-Hye yesterday said she would accept the result of a looming and possibly lengthy impeachment process, but defied pressure to resign immediately. An opposition-sponsored impeachment motion is almost certain to be adopted by the national assembly on Friday, with some 30 rebel MPs from Park's Saenuri party saying they will vote in favour.
