South Korea's Democratic Party maintains a legislative supermajority following the 2024 general election, giving President Lee Jae-myung strong institutional backing against removal efforts through the National Assembly or Constitutional Court. Lee assumed office in June 2025 after Yoon Suk-yeol's impeachment and removal, and no formal impeachment proceedings, resignation demands, or successful challenges have emerged through mid-August 2026 despite recent approval rating declines to 44% in Gallup polling. Local elections in June 2026 delivered victories for Lee's party, even amid administrative issues like ballot shortages, while foreign policy engagements and domestic initiatives have sustained trader views of continuity. With South Korea's single five-year presidential term running to 2030 and no scheduled elections or constitutional triggers in 2026, the consensus reflects the absence of viable pathways for Lee to exit office before year-end.
