An effort in Taiwan to recall 24 opposition politicians from the Kuomintang (KMT) has been unsuccessful, with early results showing that all proposals to vacate these seats were rejected by voters. This recall attempt was part of a strategy to give the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) a parliamentary majority, but it did not achieve the required threshold for any of the seats. The KMT continues to control the majority of Taiwan's legislature and aims to block DPP initiatives, which focus on countering China's influence over Taiwan.
The unprecedented attempt in Taiwan to unseat 24 pro-China opposition politicians and give a parliamentary majority to the ruling party has failed, with early results indicating voter rejection.
Polls indicated that all targeted seats were not vacated as the number of voters in favor did not meet the required threshold of 25% of the electorate.
The opposition Kuomintang (KMT) maintains control of the majority in Taiwan's parliament, which they achieved following the elections last year.
The DPP, led by Lai Ching-te, has vowed to counter China's aggression, while the KMT's victory emboldens them against DPP legislative initiatives.
