South Korea’s political crisis has sparked rare bipartisan momentum for constitutional reform to reduce presidential powers.
Following the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol over a martial law decree, major parties are backing changes ahead of the June 3 snap election.
Proposals include shifting to a four-year, two-term presidency, run-off elections, and giving parliament more say in appointing the prime minister.
Experts say chances of passing reforms—last attempted in 1987—are stronger than ever, with both liberal and conservative candidates vowing to decentralise power.
