Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang, a Kuomintang member, faces a recall motion, with the second round of signatures expected to pass smoothly. Blue camp is mobilizing to assist Xie in overcoming the recall challenge while proposing amendments to raise the recall threshold. The Kuomintang Legislative Caucus advocates for changes to the Election and Recall Law, aiming to increase the recall threshold by adding a provision requiring recall approval votes to exceed the votes received by the elected official. This move is criticized for appearing to help Xie and other Blue legislators facing recall. However, the Kuomintang think tank argues that if the amendment passes, it can be applied to ongoing cases. The Green Party accuses the Kuomintang of self-serving tactics and ignoring public anger, stating that the amendment is solely to save Xie.
