I saw someone point out that Pedro Castillo in Peru did something very similar a few years ago. I missed that story, I guess because Peru isn't nearly as important as SK, but it played out similarly. Prior to that, I'm not aware of another example of an unpopular elected leader attempting a self-coup on a whim, without any apparent prior preparation or intelligent forethought, so it seems hard to predict. But is it becoming a trend?
