Sara Duterte: Philippines parliament votes to impeach vice-president

Advertisements

A total of 215 out of 306 members of the House of Representatives voted for impeachment, well above the one-third threshold needed for the bill to pass.

The bill will now be heard by the 24-member Senate, which will convene as an impeachment court.

If found guilty, Duterte faces removal and disqualification from public office, and would be the first vice-president in Philippine history to be impeached.

She is expected to stay in office until the Senate delivers its judgment.
