In January this year, the Taiwanese presidential election received a request for recall = dismissal from Mayor Kaohsiung, who had run for the opposition Nationalist Party and was defeated, which is a further blow to the Nationalist Party who is trying to rebuild after the presidential election.
The Korean National Party, who has been in a position of reconciliation with China, ran for the mayoral election in Kaohsiung City, Southern Taiwan, and was elected with a sensation that he was close to the common people.
In January of this year, he ran for the National Party's official candidate, but he lost to the incumbent President Cai Ying-bun with a wide margin as the protest activity in Hong Kong spread the opposition to China. It was.
Mr. Han continued to be Mayor of Kaohsiung after that, but a citizen group submitted a recall = dismissal request because he decided to run for the presidential election in a short time after taking office and abandoned the mayor's duties. A referendum was held asking for pros and cons.
As a result of the vote counting, 930,990 votes were agreed with the recall, and 20,505 votes were not agreed, and the number of approval votes exceeded the number necessary for the recall to be completed, and Han was dismissed.
In the KMT, in March this year, Mr. Keiomi Jiang, who appealed for the dismissal of the image closer to China, took office as the chairman and is trying to rebuild the party, but against the Cai administration that will succeed by measures against the new coronavirus With the approval rating remaining sluggish, the establishment of this recall is a further blow to the KMT.
