In Taiwan, voters are casting their ballot papers on whether the opposition is to remember 24 MPs from the Kuomintang (KMT) party and is holding a by-election for their seats.
The upper-day referendum could have given the DPP party of Parliament the DPP party control to the DPP party, despite winning the presidential race after a parliamentary majority in the 2024 elections.
This is the first collective recall in the history of Taiwan, in which one and seven KMT MPs faced a second recall election in August.
KMT, which has a total of 52 parliamentary seats, advocates close economic relations with China.
Its critics accused KMT MPs of being a supporter communist and looking for China.
The KMT, which controls Parliament with the help of the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), has slammed the efforts made in the form of power graves.
Why is a recall vote hero?
The agenda of LAI has been interrupted wherever possible with KMT, TPP. It reduced Taiwan’s defense budget and other defense was included in the cold, when the threat from China is increasing.
He has carried forward controversial reforms to expand the powers of Parliament. Thesis disputed the Legislature and a large -scale road protests – and prepared civil groups to launch a recall campaign.
Under Taiwan’s election laws, 10% of registered voters in the district request to hold a recall vote.
To lose their seat, a KMT legalist should take out the number of votes against them in favor of remembering them and voting should be 25% of the voters registered.
The DPP needs to remember at least 12 km of MPs to achieve temporary control of Parliament.
What is China’s role in Taiwan’s recall vote?
China has attracted a large scale on recall votes. The council of Taiwan’s mainland affairs first warned in the week of “visible evidence” that China was trying to intervene in the election process.
China claims that Taiwan is part of the IT region and has threatened to use force to bring it under its control.
Elections are closed at 4 pm at Taiwan (0800 UTC/GMT), and the results should become clear later in the evening.
