Taiwanese voters have overwhelmingly rejected a mass recall campaign aimed at ousting 24 opposition lawmakers from the China-friendly Kuomintang (KMT) party. The unprecedented recall effort, backed by President Lai Ching-te's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), sought to break the political gridlock and shift legislative power. However, all targeted KMT lawmakers survived the vote, allowing the opposition to maintain its majority in parliament. The result is seen as a significant setback for President Lai and his party, while also highlighting ongoing tensions over Chinese influence and democratic processes in Taiwan. The failed recall has sparked debate about the legitimacy and risks of using recall votes as a political tool.
