SEOUL, March 8 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's two main opposition parties submitted a motion to impeach President Roh Moo-hyun Tuesday as the country braces for upcoming parliamentary elections in April.

The move came after a struggle between the embattled president and opposition-controlled legislature over Roh's remarks last month in support of candidates for the pro-government party.

A total of 159 opposition lawmakers supported the motion.
