The Kuomintang (KMT) caucus plans to amend the Recall Act by increasing the approval threshold to 'surpass the number of votes the recalled person received in the election,' aiming to address the current low recall threshold criticized in the public. Lin Guo-Cheng, a legislator from the People's Party, also advocates for raising the recall threshold to ensure fairness. Both parties agree on the need for reform, with the KMT proposing to complete the amendments by the end of the year, a move supported by Lin. He emphasizes the importance of timely adjustments to prevent specific parties from exploiting the system and highlights the inefficiencies caused by the current low threshold, contributing to frequent by-elections. Lin suggests that a fair recall system would enable timely removal of poorly performing officials, with an emphasis on the need to exceed the election votes for a successful recall, promoting efficiency in governance.
