As the recall of Keelung Mayor Hsieh Guo-liang surpasses the 36,000 signature threshold and is submitted on July 5, a speech attracted a large crowd. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) simultaneously accelerates the recall of Keelung Mayor in a move that may impact legislative seats. The Kuomintang (KMT) and civic party join forces to defend against the recall as the battle transforms into an election showdown. The KMT is mobilizing to prevent the DPP's power play with a possible counter-recall. This recall battle in Keelung is seen as a prelude to a larger political struggle between parties.
