China News Agency, Taipei, June 6-The Mayor of Kaohsiung Mayor Korea Yu recalled was held on the 6th. According to the result of the invoicing, the number of votes for dismissal exceeded the number of disagreements and exceeded the prescribed threshold. The case was passed.
Based on media news from United News Network, TVBS, Central News Agency, etc., South Korea Yu delivered a speech in the afternoon to express his blessings to Kaohsiung, and I look forward to the next mayor's ability to make the municipal government prosperous; in addition to thanking the citizens and the city government team that once supported, thank you 1.3 million citizens who did not participate in the vote that day. He also expressed regret and accused the Democratic Progressive Party of concentrating on "stopping South Korea" since it came to power again.
This mayor's recall is the first time for Taiwan's "six capitals". The Taiwan administration said it will discuss the selection of agents next week, and Taiwan’s "election committee" will announce the results of the dismissal on the 12th and dismiss South Korea's Yu post. According to relevant regulations, South Korea Yu himself cannot be elected as mayor of Kaohsiung within 4 years.
In the "Nine in One" election in Taiwan in 2018, South Korea Yu was elected mayor of Kaohsiung, and then represented the Chinese Kuomintang in the 2020 election for the leader of the Taiwan region. Some groups have initiated the recall procedure. Although South Korea Yu questioned whether the recall work was carried out prematurely, it violated relevant regulations, but his application for suspension of execution was rejected by the court.
